I think I would benefit from Smart Lipo - I'm 125, 5'7, but just have this "back fat" that won't go away, no matter what. I think I'm a good candidate, but am concerned about scarring. How many incisions are made? How large are they? Where are they usually located for the "flank" areas?

Answer: Smartlipo incisions are small and can be hidden
Smartlipo incisions are ususally very small and can be hidden. I prefer to make the placement asymmetric so their appearance is less likely to be noticable. Some people scar badly and then the incisions can be more noticable. In people who scar badly, the back can be a particularly bad place for scar. Ask you doctor where the incisions would be and what type of scat you are likely to make.

Answer: Liposuction alternatives
Hi there-
First, please understand that ALL types of liposuction will require an incision or two- the key is to have them repaired well and placed in inconspicuous locations by an experienced surgeon.
Secondly, it is critical to understand that your outcome and safety will have MUCH less to do with which machine is used on you, and EVERYTHING to do with who is holding the machine.
I am supremely confident that if you had surgery with an experienced and ethical, well-trained surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery, you would be safe and achieve a lovely outcome with ANY machine available.
On the other hand, if you let an eye doctor, ER doctor, or gynecologist do liposuction on you (and believe it or not, all of these are trying), your safety and happiness may be significantly compromised.
