With Tickle as with any other lipo procedure there are limits to what can be removed under local anesthesia. Your safety and comfort are paramount during this elective procedure. Also, it all depends on how much fat you have in the areas in question. A pinch test of the tissues is helpful to know where you are starting. Then, depending on the thickness of that pinch, your surgeon can counsel you on a reasonable expectation on how much can be removed.The amount your surgeon states he/she can remove along with your expectations on desired results all goes into the decision process of whether undergoing the procedure, in the first place, is a good idea or not. Just given you an amount that can be removed is not going to be helpful unless it is known first where you are and where you want to. Your expectation must equal predicted results. Hope this helps, Dr. Z
