How do surgeons measure the amount of fat a person can lose in liposuction? Can I lose more if I'm bigger than the average girl?
The more important question is - "How much in each area can be safely removed?" That depends on your general health, if you have a history of low blood counts, available recovery time, skin quality, etc. All of these factors should be evaluated and discussed during your consultation and subsequent visits.
I am considering lipo of my midriff and abdomen. I have always heard that you have a certain number of fat cells and that the only thing that changes is how much fat they contain. I am thinking that if I lose 5-10 pounds before lipo that the Doctor will be able to remove more fat cells. Is this thinking correct? Thank you.
You should strive to achieve a stable situation through diet and lifestyle changes to achieve maximal and sustainable results. If you lose a few pounds, it may mean some areas will require less attention, or none at all. The number of fat cells taken out is not particularily important, since the ones left behind have an almost limitless capacity to expand and store fat if you ingest excess calories.
