I am having a breast aug and lipo to my abdomen and doctor says he is only able to remove 1 liter of fat from abdomen and hips? Would this be enough fat to make a good difference?
Answer: VASER Lipo In my practice, I tell my patients not to be so focused on how much fat will be removed but rather what the results will be. Depending on how much fat is in your abdominal region, 1L may be significant enough to make a huge difference. What you need to determine is- is your surgeon underpromising with the intent to over deliver? And, what do the before and after pictures show you? The tell-tale sign of how you will look after your surgery is finding before and after pictures of a similar patient(s) that your surgeon has operated on. Remember, every surgeon has his/her specific style. Hope this helps and best of luck! Dr. Satey

Answer: I'd take more One liter of liposuction will make a difference but will not give you exceptional results. Make sure to discuss with your surgeon what you expectations are. If you are realistic and they refuse to help you achieve your goal, it may be best to consult with someone else. As always, make sure to consult with a fully trained plastic surgeon to ensure the highest chance of great results.

Answer: Vaser lipo for body contour/silhouette and not only fat removal. Hello,Thanks for your question.In my practice and experience, I am not able to give you the exact number in terms of quantity of fat is possible to remove however the most important is the quantity of fat left in your body that give you a natural looking results. After a careful assessment, usually my approach is Vaser lipo for the circumferential torso, abdomen, flanks and lower back in order to improve your overall silhouette and body contour and not just fat removal. Hope this helps,Best Wishes,Dr Giuseppe Fiore

Answer: Lipo360 - VASER HD, J Plasma/Renuvion/Inmode BodyTite, fat grafting for buttock lift/BBL, Cellfina/Sculptra the amount of fat removal isnt the most important its what is left behind and the shaping. 1l is a good amouthg of fat but from what I see here more will be needed for true body shaping. You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring. Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face. Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra. If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty). Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.

Answer: Depends on the look you are going for. I think you will have a nice effect with that amount of lipo. Proportion and safety are considerations.
