Maximum Fat Volume That Can Be Removed by Laser Liposuction?

The question shows the confusion concerning Laser Liposuction vs Traditional, Ultrasonic, Vaser, Power-Assisted, and Body Jet Liposuctions. In Laser Liposuctions, ie Smart Lipo, the concept is a sculpting more than a fat removal in terms of pounds of fat or cc's of fat. Therefore, Smart Lipo is NOT for fat removal of, let's say, 2 pounds or 3 liters of fat. Versus the other lipos, especially Body Jet Lipo (Water-assisted Liposuction -- WAL) that can do 'large volume liposuction', up to 10 to 12 liters. But bear in mind, large volume liposuctions are an in hospital overnight stay to 2 night stay operation. And a very extended recovery of up to 1 month. If the lipo is in an outpatient setting than by Florida medical rules ONLY 4 liters of fat can be removed .
Just remember, get a good informed consent and fully understand what you are getting.

general speaking some plastic surgeons believe that Laser Liposuction is not as safe as Tumescent liposuction. Laser liposuction can creat much heat and tissue inflammation which limits the amount of liposuction significantly.

Outpatient Liposuction - No more than 5 liters = guidelines for most states regardless of whether it is laser lipo, ultrasonic lipo or standard liposuction

Liposuction Limits - depends on State and Safety

5000 cc's (5 liters) is the guideline limit for outpatient liposuction for many states including California. For smaller patients with more areas for liposuction removing less fat may be safer.
