I had lipo (SAL) done on my tummy and upper back ( under bra line) and love handles,breast augmentation and septoplasty all in one session. but pictures of before and after shows no changes in my tummy area. when i asked my doctor, he said he did it through belly botton. All my research shows there should be at least four point of insertion to remove belly fat evenly. So can you do proper tummy lipo with only one insertion or incision point in belly botton?

Answer: Liposuction incision points
There is not just one approach to performing liposuction. One or several incisions may be used depending on the technique and area(s) being treated. The results from liposuction usually take a good three months to get where they are going, for the swelling to fully resolve and the skin to tighten and contour back. At that point if you still do not see any difference in comparison to your before photographs, then you should express your concerns with yr surgeon.

Answer: Liposuction access points
There is great variability in the way different surgeons do liposuction. While I do perform the procedure from more than one "port" in the abdomen in order to maintain a smooth outcome, your surgeon may be used to doing things differently. If you don't see an immediate result, this is more likely due to swelling than technique... Be patient and hold off on your evaluation until the healing resolves completely in a few weeks to months.
