I would like to know how many CC’s of fat can be safely removed from an abdomen of a person weighing 270 lbs and the height of 5’10? Would 1800 cc’d yield good results?
Answer: Removal The amount of fat that can be removed depends upon how much fat is present. Some carry excess fat in the area that can be removed with liposuction, and some carry excess fat more internally which cannot be removed. The amount, 1800 cc's, of fat you mentions is a fair amount of fat. Five liters, which is a great deal of fat, is the maximum allowed to be removed at one time. Not all patients with that amount of fat can have it be removed safely at one time.

Answer: How many cc’s of fat can be safely removed from an abdomen of someone weighing 270 lbs and a height of 5’10? (photos) The safe maximum amount that can be liposuctioned in an outpatient setting is 5 liters in one surgery. Some patients have a lot of intra-abdominal fat, which is not addressed by liposuction, only weight loss. Weight loss would help to create a more favorable final result. Lipo is terrible for weight loss but great for body contouring .You will not lose any significant amount of weight with lipo. Liposuction will allow you to have stubborn fat resistant to exercise and diet removed from unwanted areas (hips, stomach, thighs, back) and transferred to areas that can benefit from the added volume and will result in a waist as small as possible. Lipo will not alter the underlying musculoskeletal anatomy or help with any amount of significant skin laxity.Your best option would be to consult with your PCP to provide guidance in a weight loss and exercise program. Having a BMI of 38.7 will increase the risks of complications during and after surgery and will not produce the best results. Different surgeons will have different opinions and comfort levels with regard to this so it is best to ask the individual surgeon at your virtual or in-office consultation how much weight you should lose prior to lipo.

Answer: Liposuction You will not be happy with liposuction of your abdomen, because you will be left with loose skin and a lumpy result. I would look closely at the credentials of anyone who tells you otherwise, and make sure you see before and after pictures of someone like you.Good luck

Answer: Liposuction guidlelines Thank you for your questionFrom the pictures you seem to be a good candidate for a staged procedure. 360 liposuction yielding up to 5 liters or 5000 cc of fat (that is the limit at an outpatient surgery center). You may then need some type of procedure to remove excess skin (if needed) like a tummy tuck. I recommend that you see a board certified PLASTIC SURGEON who can remove the fat via liposuction and also have the ability to treat the excess skin with a tummy tuck if needed in the future. The best way to give you proper recommendations is to see and evaluate you in person. Best of luck!

Answer: Liposuction candidate? In an outpatient setting, the limit is 5 liters (4 liters in some states). This will amount to 11 lbs. However, this is not purely fat but a combination fat and a number of other components (blood, tumescent etc.).
