A: Liposuction of Multiple Areas
I would not recommend more than a total of 5,000 cc or 5 liters of fat removal. This is what is considered safe for outpatient surgery center surgeries. So multiple areas can be safe, just depends on how long you will be under anesthesia. And ofcourse also how health you are is important.

Hi Kristella, Depending on the method of lipo, you can have up to 2liters or 5liters removed (based upon you anesthesia level, surgical facility etc...). I would be cautious about how much to remove at once as the longer you are under surgery and the more that is removed, generally the risks are greater. This is associated with anesthesia levels, fluid changes in your body, and many other factors. As a young, healthy 24 year old, I would ask you to think about splitting up your procedure. I perform most of my liposculpting procedures under tumescent anesthesia. Many of my patients have multiple body parts taken care of on different days; I always tell my patients that they should see if they like the procedure first before they continue with the rest of their body. Good luck!
