Liposuction Plus

Without seeing any photos of you this has to be a general answer. I have done multiple areas of Lipo at the same time on patients with great success. In fact, it is rare that only one area is treated at a time. With multiple areas treated during a single procedure, you have only one anesthetic and only one recuperation period.

Multiarea Liposuction is possible

Multiarea liposuction is definitely a reasonable option provided the patient is in good health and the surgery performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. If the amount of fat removed exceeds a certain volume, an overnight stay may be required. Liposuction is a fantastic way to remove the unwanted fat in the abdomen, flanks, hips, and inner/outer thighs to achieve a more contoured and beautiful aesthetic result.

You certainly can have liposuction of multiple areas at the same time. You need to make sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon with a lot of experience doing liposuction.

Getting too many areas liposuctioned at once usually gives poor results.

Docs who try to do too many areas of liposuction at once usually have a long list of unhappy patients. It is better to be very thorough and have great results by dividing the areas up in 2 procedures than just taking a little fat out of each area and not seeing much if any improvement in all the areas. No matter what size you are, it is rare to be able to do a good job of liposuction on more than the full abdomen and flanks at 1 time. Then do the thighs and arms at a 2nd procedure a few days... more
