Red Flags to Spot for Large Volume Liposuction?

Your situation is a common one. Large volume liposuction is defined by removal of 5 liters or more of fat/fluid. With larger volumes of liposuction there are more risk of fluid problems after surgery which may lead to dehydration. The dehydration if not corrected or prevented can lead to low blood pressure which can affect the heart and/or kidney among other things. Therefore overnight monitoring is minimally required.
The other issue is weight. Stabilization of your weight to an acceptable level is paramount. Developing lifestyle changes to manage your weight. Liposuction is not a strategy for weight loss. Liposuction is a contouring procedure. You will have a better result and will be able to maintain the result if your lifestyle changes to promote a consistent healthy weight.
Good Luck.

We try to limit the volume of fat removed during any one liposuction to 5 liters for safety reasons. This may be just the front tummy in a large patient or it may be just the hips or just the thighs. It is better to be safe and stage the procedures at least a week apart and do them under local anesthesia. Liposuction is a great motivator to encourage more dieting and exercising. Expect to pay roughly $6-7000 per surgery.
