Yes, removing 3 liters of fat will make a difference. How much will really depend on your starting weight. Best, Dr. Nazarian
Hello lagsand21,Thanks for your question.Actually 3L of fat removal during liposuction is significant for most people. It really depends on your height and weight. For most patients, 3L of fat removal is not so much that they can't go home after surgery the same day. If patients have more than 5L removed in one session, it is prudent to keep the patient in hospital monitored.Liposuction is performed for body contouring purposes, not weight loss. It is important for the patient to be within 30% of their ideal body weight for safe anesthesia administration.I hope this was helpful.Dr. Shah
Depending on your height, weight and body mass, the answer is yes, for the majority of people. It represents more than 6 pounds of fat being removed. Liposuction is a body contouring surgery, not for weight reduction which is a benefit of course.
3 liters is a decent amount of fat removal. Remember, liposuction is not a weight loss surgery. Rather, it helps improve contour by removing fat from certain places and redistributing it to help create ideal proportions. So honestly, the idea that more removal is better is not entirely correct. The key is finding board certified surgeons who understand the importance of sculpting and proportions to give you the best possible result.
Thank you for your question. It is good amount. Also depending on the size of the patient. Lipo is not a weight loss operation.
Normally it would make a very noticeable difference, especially the less you weigh currently. If you have seen an experienced liposuction surgeon then he can help set your expectations more precisely. Best of Luck Dr Harrell
Dear Lagsand 21,Thank you for your questions.Unfortunately without additional information (photos, height, weight, etc) useful answers are impossible to provide you.However, in general liposuction in the 3 liter range does make a noticeable difference.Please make a appt. with a experienced Plastic Surgeon who is Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).My best wishes,
Thank you for asking about your liposuction recovery.It is a little upsetting to have surgery and be told you need to pay more for a good result.Ultrasound is not necessary after liposuction.It does heat the tissues under the skin - a little heat does little and a lot of heat may damage the...
Thank you for asking about your cheek liposuction.Usually if there is excess cheek fat, it is removed surgically (buccal fat removal).Facial liposuction can be done but it sounds as though you need liposuction of the lower face, not the cheeks. Always see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon...
Liposuction takes 6 months to see the end results but even at 1 month you can usually see a significant improvement.
