How many scars do you get from lipo of the flanks and abdomen?

Hello and thank you for your question.  The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  The port sites for liposuction can be placed under the bikini and are very small.  I recommend biocorneum applications after surgery which can help with the scarring.   Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.


Best wishes and good luck.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Each doctor has their own protocol It is very important that you talk to him about your concerns and goals.
Typically liposuction on this areas will require 3 - 5 small incisions, hidden In the belly button or below the bikini line.
Hope this helps. Good luck :)
