What is considered 1 zone for smart lipo? If I wanted lipo on lower/upper abs, flanks and upper back, how many zones is that?

Question

For example if I would like to have lipo on lower abs, upper abs, flanks and upper back (bra rolls) how many zones is that?

Calvin Jung, MD · Answer

Each doctor will define what they consider an area differently.  Some may say 4 zones and others may call what you are asking for 6 zones.  Ask to see a body chart which can help you understand what areas are being treated

Marco A. Pelosi III, MD, FACOG, FACS · Answer

Every surgeon has their own definition of zones. Every patient has different sized fat deposits in all areas of the body. No two are identical. What I recommend to anyone interested in liposuction is to have their body assessed by a body contouring specialist to see how much lipo is needed to improve your look and see whether or not lipo is all you need to achieve your goals. Since everyone is built differently, each person has a unique solution. You can't really slap together a bunch of areas a la carte and wind up with a nice look.

Gregory Chambon, MD · Answer

How areas are separated out vary from place  to place and surgeon to surgeon, so the answer is more confusing than it should be. Our areas are divided into upper and lower abdomen, lovehandles, and braline fat.

Ven Erella, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Usually they considered four areas. It may vary from place to place. Please consult with a board certified PS for evaluation.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

There are no zones, just areas and you have pretty much mentioned all of them. Like you said, upper abdomen, lower abdomen, flanks and upper back. 4 areas. Make sure you're being treated by a real plastic surgeon. Good luck from New York City
