I'm wondering if I got liposuction, how much body fat (in percentage) could be removed? (Photos)

Asked By:lu510 in Carlsbad, CA

I'm a 36 year old male. I'm 6'4" tall and I weigh 235 lbs. and have 18% body fat. I'm pretty well proportioned, but have a spare tire and excess breast fat. I would want to remove from the whole torso, chest and belly, and maybe my thighs. The heaviest I've ever been was 270 lbs and have lost 45 lbs since last year when I started to work out. Please give an average lbs. or %, or CC's with how much that means. Also, what are the differences in the different types of Lipo?
