I know there is a limit on a safe amount (about 5 liters) to be taken out in every session of Liposuction. However, does it matter how many areas it comes from? For instance, can you do waist, abs, hips and back/flanks in one session?

Answer: Limits associated with liposuction In addition to the amount of fat removed, there is a limit to how much anesthetic is used. This differs from patient to patient based on weight, age and prescription and non-prescription medications that are taken every day as may affect the metabolism of the anesthetic. The surgeon examines you and evaluates the amount of fat in each area that interests you for liposuction, and takes the other variables into consideration. It might be possible for you to have all those areas done, but you should be able to find out with certainty in your consultation.

Answer: Liposuction safety and areas of treatment For outpatient liposuction, 5 Liters of fat is considered the maximum amount that can be safely removed in one session. During that session, several different areas can be addressed, from one area up to four or five. However, if a patient is requesting or needs many areas (>5), one must give serious consideration to the patient perhaps losing more weight prior to the liposuction surgery. Some patients are under the false impression the liposuction is a means for them to lose weight; this is not true. The goal of liposuction is to improve contour, not to lower weight.
