I want lipo to love handles, flanks, lower back. Want to use that fat to transfer to butt. I want lipo to my belly but afraid of getting the wavy look. Don't have much fat there just a small pouch. Is it true noninvasive types of lipo have a lesser risk of leaving waves? Would it be a good idea to get regular lipo, use that for fat transfer, then get the noninvasive lipo on my belly? In which order should things be done? Best method of noninvasive lipo? Thank you
