Would I be a good candidate for large volume liposuction?

November 11, 2010
Asked By:Strathvaich2011 in Tallahassee, FL

I'm 39, 5'8" weight 390; my normal blood pressure is 70/110 and I recently passed a stress test with flying colors. I have successfully undergone several surgeries in the past without complications - chin implant, left breast implant, breast lift, tumescent liposuction (4 liters) in 1995; a lap band in 2007; and tubal ligation. Would I be a good candidate for large volume liposuction? What is the maximum volume of fat that could be removed in one surgery in Florida? Hospital stay assumed.
