Multiple Body Areas Treated At The Same Time With Liposuction
All of those body areas can be treated at the same time with liposuction. But with numerous and separated body areas, you may need to consider having a general anesthetic to get the maximal volume removed in the most efficient period of time.

Depend on your weight, remember liposuction is not to lose weight, it is only for deposit of fat, but if a small quantity is safe.

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. It is very safe, efficient and a much better way to address your figure in a "3-D" fashion and you can certainly attain your preferred result in the process. I advise...

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.

Liposuction of multiple areas can be done
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. With so many areas, you will need general anesthesia, which is very safe in a healthy person. You will not get a good result with local anesthesia only. Good luck from NYC

Can Liposuction Of Multiple Areas Be Done Safely During A Single Surgery?
Liposuction of multiple areas such as abdomen, flanks, thighs and upper arms can be done safely during one surgery if the surgeon is a Board Certified plastic surgeon experienced in multiple area liposuction techniques. In an out patient setting, up to 5 liters of fat can safely be removed and the patient sent home with a competent and responsible caregiver.

Liposuction of multiple areas
Liposuction of multiple areas can be done in one setting in the appropriate patient. A thorough medical history needs to be obtained. Also, the amount of fat to be removed from all of these areas can be a limiting factor to what can be done in one setting. Make sure you see a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Liposuction arms stomach thighs
Thank you for your question T.F. The answer really depends on your health and Body Mass Index (BMI) which is determined by your height and weight. We have safely performed multiple areas of liposuction. May of our liposuction procedure are performed under local anesthesia with some sedation. General anesthesia is not required. If you are healthy and your BMI is <30, I am confident you can have liposuction of all these areas in one visit. In order to get a more definite answer, please...

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...

Liposuction of Multiple body areas at one time in Los Angeles
It is definitely possible to have liposuction of multiple areas including arms, abdomen, flanks, and thighs. The limiting factor is your medical health and the total amount of fat that is going to be liposuctioned at one setting. Unlike, many plastic surgeons, I have extensive experience with large volume liposuction, so I feel comfortable with and have the facility support to do large volume liposuction. You can submit your photos for an online consultation.

Large volume liposuction
I am not a fan of large volume liposuction because of the risks of increased morbidity. It required medical clearance, an accredited facility and a healthy patient. I find that many patients who seek this procedure are overweight and have other medical issues which present risk factors.

Large volume liposuction.
Thanks for your question. The short answer to your question is YES! The longer answer is what needs to be done to make sure you are safe if you decide to have large volume liposuction performed. Large volume liposuction is defined as liposuction where more than 5000cc of aspirate is removed by the surgeon. It can be a very safe procedure with excellent results. However, the American Society of Plastic Surgery recomends that when this is done the patient needs to...

Liposuction of multiple areas in one setting
Liposuction of multiple areas in one setting can be done safely in an healthy patient. I recently peformed liposuction to abdomen, flanks, back thighs, and arms in one setting. In this case, the patient is a healthy woman and her body mass index is in the healthy range. I admitted the patient for an overnight observation at an aftercare facility. I usually limit my liposuction volume to 5-6 L in one setting. Good luck.

Liposuction in multiple areas
Hello and thanks for the question, T.F. I have done what you have asked numerous times but this was for select patients. You should seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to see if the amount of tissue to be removed from those areas can be done safely in one procedure. For an outpatient setting, usually less than five-six liters of aspirate (fat + the tumescent fluid) is an acceptable amount to be removed and go home. Anything more than that...

How much liposuction is too much?
Your procedure could be done, but treatment of multiple sites increases the trauma experienced by your body, and observation over-night in hospital would increase the margin of safety. Plastic Surgery dogma would limit your volume of aspirate to 5 litres for ambulatory surgery, but the safety of this threshold would be less for a 100 lb person than for someone 170 lbs. The whole of your health, age, body mass index, fat volume, body surface area, surgeon experience and...
