How many cc's or Liters of fat have to be taken out for a laser liposuction procedure to be considered a large volume? Is it more than ten pounds worth of fat?
Answer: Maximum Laser Liposuction same as Traditional
Outpatient Liposuction - No more than 5 liters = guidelines for most states regardless of whether it is laser lipo, ultrasonic lipo or standard liposuction
Liposuction Limits - depends on State and Safety
5000 cc's (5 liters) is the guideline limit for outpatient liposuction for many states including California. For smaller patients with more areas for liposuction removing less fat may be safer.

Answer: Maximum fat removed with laser liposuction
general speaking some plastic surgeons believe that Laser Liposuction is not as safe as Tumescent liposuction. Laser liposuction can creat much heat and tissue inflammation which limits the amount of liposuction significantly.

Answer: Five liters or 5000cc is maximum safe amount of fat that can be removed in one surgical session.
If you are overweight liposuction is not a great option. If you have a certain area of your body that you don't like and has a stubborn pocket of fat then liposuction is the answer. I usually tell patient that is they don't like their abdomen then removal of 1000cc of fat from the abdomen will create the same result as them having lost 10 lbs because when you lose weight it won't all come off you abdomen.

Answer: Liposuction and and how much fat to be removed safely Whether it's laser liposuction, ultrasound liposuction, or regular liposuction, make sure you're in a hospital or fully accredited surgicenter where you can be observed if more than 2 liters of fat is removed. The way your body reacts after large volume liposuction may require your urine output to be monitored and extra fluid given intravenously. Also, make sure you're comfortable with your plastic surgeon and his/her post-operative care before proceeding with surgery. Good luck!

Answer: Smart Lipo not good for big volumes 5 liters is generally the most that can be removed at one time wth liposuction. In general, even smart lipo advocates do not recommend it for larger volumes. The bottom line, as i said in your last question, is to not dwell on any procedure, particularly one that is of unproved and dubious benefit.
