What is considered the upper abdomen for liposuction?

PSNightmare
If a Dr. defines the abdomen as two separate areas and the bellybutton is the line between the two. How far above the bellybutton is considered upper abdomen? A few inches, to the bra line assuming there is fat to be removed, or something else?
