I am about to have a BBL and I want to include arm lipo. Based on my pictures, do you think 4 liters of fat (Which is the limit in Florida), be enough to have a good result if I include my arms?
Answer: BBL candidate Dear Enthusiastic996326, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, 4 liters can be enough to achieve good results. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Liposuction assessments To make an assessment, especially regarding anticipating how much fat could or should be removed during liposuction requires having quality information. The biggest variable regarding quality results. When it comes to volume restrictions he’s going to be having a clear understanding of exactly what areas we’re going to be treated with Liposuction and the patient’s weight. A BBL does not imply any thing, other than gluteal fat transfer. That can be harvested from any part of the body in a while. It often includes liposuction of the abdomen, love handles, and waist that is not always how the procedure is performed. It also makes a big difference if the entire torso is included, which would be the addition of the full back under arm area, lower back and pubic area. Plastic surgeons approaches very dramatically from provider to provider. I would probably remove 750 cc of fat per arm so that would only leave it 2 1/2 L to be removed from your torso. 2 1/2 L of fat is sufficient to treat a full Torso to completion on a patient who weighs approximately 140 pounds. I suggested a multiple in person, consultations with local, board-certified plastic surgeons, who have experience with the procedure and can give you an accurate assessment, and better understanding of what the procedure can, and cannot accomplish.
