I am currently a size 14/16. I love the size I am minus the belly and back fat and I want to remain plus sized which is why dieting and exercising hasn't really been giving me the desired results. I want to know if it is possible to get the liposuction procedure done without having to have a tummy tuck (I really do not want a tummy tuck)? Also, is there a maximum amount of fat that can be extracted during one procedure?

Answer: Lipo only Depending on your goals liposuction may be all you need. Much of picking the right surgery friends on your goals, if you have loose skin below your belly button than lipo will not fix that. If you are looking for some changes in your overall contour than lipo alone may be appropriate. The consultation by your surgeon will be helpful in determining the right procedure

Answer: You don't need a tummy tuck to get lipo. You can certainly have liposuction without having a tummy tuck. The two procedures address different issues with the body. A tummy tuck removes loose, excess abdominal skin that can result from pregnancy or weight fluctuations. Liposuction can target problem spots almost anywhere on the body to remove stubborn fat for a more refined contour. Your best option is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals. Your surgeon can evaluate your candidacy and advise you as to how much fat can be safely removed during the procedure. Surgeons never remove more than 5,000 ccs of fat during liposuction, but what is appropriate for you will depend on your health as well as your desired outcome.
