If I wanted to go in and get my waist, neck, undereye bags, and back all done in one liposuction section could I? Or should each be done separately and why?
Answer: Liposuction Information Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another. See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for you. Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Can Multiple Location Liposuction Be Done At Once Thanks for your question! Yes, multiple location liposuction can be done at once, & in my experience of doing thousands of body contouring surgeries, I do exactly that multiple times per week. In fact, you can even have the harvested fat purified (we use the Puregraft or Revolve System) places back into areas such as your breasts or buttocks! Of course, your surgeon must determine that you’re in good health for the surgery, & I usually limit myself to 4 liters (~11 pounds) of liposuction in any one outpatient setting in our own AAAASF OR. Also, your lower lid bags need to be surgically addressed with a lower lid blepharoplasty, NOT liposuction (WAY dangerous in that area), but that also can probably be done at the same time as your liposuction procedure. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Multiple areas of liposcution I frequently perform liposuction of multiple areas all in 1 surgical setting so yes, it can definitely be done on the right surgical candidate. However, there is a limit so it depends on how much fullness you have and how much of a reduction in fat you are looking for. The limit of liposuction in an outpatient setting (surgical center and you go home the same day AKA no hospital stay) is 5 liters. I frequently perform liposuction of the upper back, lower back, upper abdomen and flanks along with abdominoplasty all in the same operation. Also, as far as the lower eyelid bags. That would require whats called a blepharoplasty or a lower eyelid lift in which the fat is remove or redraped and extra skin if present is removed. Hope this helps and please make sure you are being evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon!

Answer: Liposuction The total volume of liposuction aspirate is the rate limiting factor. For outpatient surgery you should not exceed 5 liters and use a superwet tumescent technique at a minimum.

Answer: Can multiple location liposuction be done at once? Thank you for your question. While you can liposuction several areas at once there is a limit to how much fat can be removed safely. Risks from liposuction increase significantly when over 5 liters of fat are suctioned out. We usually stay below this limit for patient safety. We’ve found that we’re able to achieve dramatic improvements for our patients with 2 to 4 liters of liposuction, depending on their needs. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. A key quality indicator is Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.
