I'm getting lipo of my abdomen & flanks. Is J Plasma necessary? Better to hit flanks on stomach or laying on side?

Doc 1: Will use tumescent lipo & lipo me on me while I'm on my back then flip me over on my stomach to work the flank area Doc 2: Will use tumescent lipo & lipo me on me while I'm on my back then flip me over on my side to work the the rest of the flank. He will then use J-Plasma skin tightening. Questions: 1.) is it better to hit the 360 of the flank area putting the patient on their side or on their stomach? 2.) does one doctor offering J-Plasma after lipo warrant me leaning towards him?
