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?
