Too much liposuction

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Harvesting fat on abdomen fat liposuctioned twice?

I need to know if the remaining dregs of fat in my abdomen can be harvested for grafting, despite the fact it has been liposuctioned twice? I desperately want the damage done to my legs through liposuction repaired and I am very short on spare fat. I intend to get a tummy tuck so about half the flab on my belly will be thrown away and damage to this piece of skin wont be an issue.

It sounds like your legs have been damaged from overdone liposuction and now you are contemplating a third liposuction procedure to the abdomen to try to correct the legs.  What if the legs are no better and now your abdomen is damaged like your legs?  Maybe you should stop before too much damage is done that cannot be corrected.  Just a thought...
