Where is the Best Place for Incisions to Lipo the Love Handles "Flank" Area Only?

My choice is a single incision over an upper lumbar spinous process, and two additional incisions postero-laterally in the bikini line.  This allows cross hatching for complete evacuation of fat, and the scars are never seen... usually undetectable by two weeks after surgery when the steri-strips come off.  If the patient has a tattoo in the area, I'll often go through that because the scar is also never ever seen.

The micro cannulas are so great at giving smooth results for liposuction and go in through only a needle stick opening so there are no ugly scars and the tiny spots can be placed anywhere easily.  Usually each area gets liposuctioned from 3 directions but leave that up to your doc since he will know exactly what to do and where to put them.  sincerely,
