Tailoring question - waist suppression

Is it more difficult for tailors to waist suppress a double side vented jacket as opposed to a single-vented or unvented jacket?

I ask because my tailor said that she couldn't do waist suppression on my double side-vented jacket without having to "deconstruct it" which will be to time consuming and costly. Should I find a new tailor? Thanks.

Atleast some truth to this as my tailor expressed similar concerns regarding a double vented Isaia I'm cinching up. It was more costly than normal.

Double vented is easier to get a lot of suppression on, but if it needs to be taken in a lot you can run into problems with the vent in the back flairing out in wierd ways and needing to be recut.
