Answer: How much fat can be removed Let me preface this by saying I am one of very few plastic surgeons who is focused exclusively on body contouring using various forms of liposuction and fat transfer only.These two procedures represent 99% of all the surgical procedures I perform.It would not be appropriate for any plastic surgeon to comment or give a specific numbers.Based on your pictures it appears that you were not necessarily a great candidate for liposuction.My guess is you've had some weight loss or previous pregnancies with or without weight-loss.I have had times where I can remove 5 L of fat from patients 160 pounds while I've had patients heavier than that that I can barely remove one liter from.fat distribution is a much more important predictor then his weight.people would stretch marks can have fat that it's more challenging to remove.This is especially true for weight-loss patients with stretch marks and skin laxity.in your case weight loss may be a much better option followed by a possible abdominoplasty.And in person examination is always needed to make an accurate assessment.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.
