What is the max legal amount of fat that can be removed doing tumescent Lipo in Texas?

Question

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

The maximum amount that can be removed as an outpatient depends upon the actual patient, the medical history, the amount of fat present, the number of areas treated, whether it was done under local or general anesthesia, and bleeding. The surgeon is the one who determines how much fat can be removed at one time. However, the maximum limit allowed is 5 liters, but not all patients can tolerate that amount at one time.

Kristen Aliano Messina, MD · Answer

Any lipoaspirate removal over 5L (this is known as large-volume liposuction) requires an overnight stay for monitoring.
