How many liters for a touch-up lipo/thigh lift 6 months after 360 debulking surgery?

SM8778
Hello surgeons, If 360 liposuction to the calves, thighs, and hips are done as a debulking surgery and then the patient returns 6+ months later for a thigh lift, how many liters is done during the thigh lift as the “touch up” liposuction portion of the surgery? After my liposuction debulking procedure, I was told I’d have touch up lipo during my thigh lift 6 months later and I’m concerned that if too many liters are removed, that the swelling will impact the skin excision. Thank you!
