How much fat is actually in a liter of what is removed from lipo?

February 6, 2015
Asked By:MandoLynn in Boston, MA

I had lipo three weeks ago. The areas done were my mid back/bra bulge area, my auxillary area mainly the side of breast and the area in front of the upper arm where you get a bulge outside of the upper/outer area of the bra. My PS told me she took out about a liter total. that is about 27ounces. When she says that does that mean that is how much actual fat was removed or does it also include the fluid used it infiltrate the area before hand?
