Is more fluid injected in areas where more fat is to be removed?

Hello and thank you for your question! Yes, in general, if more fat is planned to be removed during liposuction, more fluid would be used in that region. However, the exact amount is not a perfect science - typically the surgeon will inject fluid until a given clinical endpoint - the tissues have the the "right response" in terms of look, feel/turgor. Also, small amounts of fluid differences may not have actual clinical differences (i.e. minor differences in fluid amounts between one arm and another).

The amount of fluid injected into areas to be liposuctioned varies according to surgeon preference. My preference has always been to inject nearly equal amounts of tumescent fluid to each side of the abdomen, each flank, each arm,etc. Then, during the removal, when I palpate the tissue thickness on each side of the body and compare for symmetry, I know there is not extra fluid which could be affecting the result. Best wishes.

plastic surgeons have different approaches to how much fluid is placed for tumescent liposuction. I prefer to place the same amount of fluid in the fat, as I will remove altogether with liposuction. Most of this removed fluid will be fat. Therefore, more fluid goes into an area that there is more fat to be removed.
