What is the maximum lipo volume allowed to remove?

Question

What is the maximum lipo volume allowed in new Jersey and Beverley hills with/without tummy Tuck? 5 litres for lipo only and 1litre if combined with tummy Tuck?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

In California, this is a judgment related issue and is not limited to 1 liter with another procedure. Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent.  Find a plastic    
surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction and liposuction revision   
procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before
 and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the    
results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Liposuction is a safe procedure with excellent longterm results. Safety is paramount and depends on your body fat distribution and our ability to harmonize proportions, rather than absolute weight. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACSLos Angeles

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

administration of lidocaine as well as tumescent fluid and the anticipated removal of a large volume of fat can create significant physiologic issues.

Jaime Campos Leon, MD · Answer

Thank you for the question.Normally a patient has to have a good or extra good over the limit HMG level to start. The safest and the permited is 5 Lts. in some cases 6 but no more than that, it may be harmful for patients to have more than this.

Kevin Tehrani, MD, FACS · Answer

in New York State, there are no laws governing the amount of liposuction performed. As an outpatient procedure however, there is a guideline of the 5 L total removed regardless of the procedure. Expertise and judgment of the plastic surgeon is of paramount importance as larger volumes may be performed under anesthesia in the hospital sitting with an overnight observation period.
