I work out 6-7 days a week and follow a pretty strict (healthy) diet. I've had the same "trouble" spots since I was young, like my thighs and upper arms and have been considering liposuction for awhile. How much can be performed at one time? For example, could I have my upper arms, inner/outer/front thighs and facial (cheeks) performed at one time? How much is "too much?" I'm 5'3 and 115 lbs and a good candidate for this procedure.

Answer: How Much Liposuction Can Be Done at Once? Can I Have Multiple Body Areas Treated At Once?
At 5'3" and 115 lb. you are fine to have all those areas done at the same time...Routinely we say that up to 5 liters (which you wont get anywhere close!) can be done safely as an outpatient and anything more than that, the patient should spend the night and be monitored. Again, you will do fine, I'm sure....

Answer: Perfect Candidate for Liposuction are Fit People with "Problem" Areas
Liposuction removes unwanted fat with the use of cannulas. Liposuction is not a weight loss method. It is best when used for fit people with "problem" areas. It is not uncommon to have multiple areas liposuctioned at the same time. This has the advantage of combining recovery and is also more cost effective for you. The key to multiple area liposuction is the amount of fat that is removed. It is important to keep the amount removed to less than 5 liters. This is still very a very significant amount of fat (about 12 pounds!) so it is possible to perform several areas of liposuction on fit people with "problem" areas such as the arms, thighs, neck, and abdomen. Make sure you select a board certified plastic surgeon with a lot of experience in liposuction. Most surgeons like myself who specialize in body contouring perform several cases of liposuction per week and several hundred cases per year.
