Is it possible to have full-body liposuction / fat removal?

When full body liposuction is requested, it is possible when appropriate but is staged in 3-4 procedures which can be done every other day under tumescent local anesthesia for roughly $5-7000 on special per procedure. You can go back to work 2 days later and be at the gym in 1 week. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD

If you are at a reasonable weight, liposuction may be very reasonable.  An exam or photos would be necessary to make a determination.Select a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures
each year, has great reviews, and has great before and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Yes, liposuction or my gentle wave body contouring, can be done on virtually any part of the face and body where fat exists. It also can be done in one operation, the major limitation though is that the maximum recommended/allowed is 10 pounds or 5000cc. Safety must also be the main consideration. If a person is very large, then the maximum amount can usually be removed safely and quite easily. We charge by area treated and try and keep the fees very reasonable. Also, I do quite a few patients totally under tumescent/local anesthesia.

I have long been an advocate of large volume liposuction for the right person.   You need to be seen and evaluated by a ABPS surgeon and then consider larger volume.   Your cannot really do the whole body in one session but the most problematic areas can be treated.    If you check pubmed.com you can find my article on some 600 patients.    You may be a good candidate.  My Best, Dr C

Liposuction is never a replacement for weight loss.  Liposuction is meant to contour the body to remove stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.There are plastic surgeons that are doing large volume liposuction, but it is not something I recommend to my patients.Have you been evaluated by your family doctor for possible medical reasons that weight loss is so difficult for you?  If not, that may be the best place to start.Good luck!
