Q: Maximum fat volume that can be removed by laser liposuction?
A:
5 liters is generally the most that can be removed at one time wth liposuction. In general, even smart lipo advocates do not recommend it for larger volumes.
The bottom line, as i said in your last question, is to not dwell on any procedure, particularly one that is of unproved and dubious benefit.
