I had chin/Jowl liposuction completed 2 days ago. I am thin but had stubborn areas. I had gastro the days leading up to the surgery and lost a few kilos. The surgeon said it would still be ok. I had a look at the amount removed (in the tube) and it looked like a few teaspoons. How much fat is generally removed? is that amount likely to make a significant change? I've started to put the few kilos back on after the gastro so now I'm just stressing that maybe I should have had more removed? Thanks
