When getting lipo 360, I know 4 liters is max. If arm lipo is included, is it part of the 4 liters?

Question

I’m going to have a BBL but wanted to include arm lipo. I don’t know if it will make a big difference if it’s included with the 4 liters

Hello, thank you for your question. The answer to your question is yes, this will be included too. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Hello darling,

4 liters is the limit and fat cna be removed from any area.
Before getting any procedure done, make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon first to talk about your goals and possibilities.

Hope this helps and best of lucks.

The total volume of lipo is the total volume. All parts count. Different places have different max volumes so do your research. As always, be sure to research who does your procedure to increase your chances of having a good outcome.

Miguel Mota, MD · Answer

Hello. Interesting question. If there is a 4lt limit, then any fat liposuctioned will be counted within the 4lt limit.  The 4lt limit is not aplicable everywhere.  Therefore this will only be a concern in places with the 4lt limit.

Different places have different ways of regulating the amount of lipo that can be sone safely. In our office, we take into account the patients Complete Blood Count, medical history and in person evaluation to determine how much fat can actually be liposuctioned. In most 360 lipo cases we regularly do about 5lt of liposuction.

Best of luck,
Dr. Miguel Mota

Dear VinaM,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. A total amount of harvested fat is counted. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Dear Patient: Thanks for your question, please contact your surgeon, he should be able to answer this issue.  Most probably the fat will be processed, cleaned and at that stage is re-injected always above the muscle for safety reasons, to give the patient the desired volume and projection in the buttocks area.  Most of the fat will be grafted from areas like abdomen or flanks, and the fat from the arms will also be cleaned and processed as well.
Good luck, wishing you the best!

In California, the maximum amount of fat that can be removed is 5L. Yes, arm lipo would be included in this total.The Gold Standard for superior liposuction results requires use of the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I perform full body liposuction cases every week. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently resulted in outstanding liposuction outcomes. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of degree of excess fat by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. If skin redundancy is observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

In Florida 4 L maximum fat removal means 4 L is the maximum amount of fat that can be removed with Liposuction if no other surgery is done at the same time.

It does not matter what area the fat comes from. A plastic surgeon cannot remove more than 4 L of fat as an outpatient procedure in a liposuction only case.

If you need more than 4 L of fat removed to properly treat your abdomen 360 and your arms then you should have two procedures.  Personally I don’t think the Florida laws are serving patients well who would benefit from having multiple areas treated during a single procedure. I believe this was a gross overreaction by government forces.

Forcing patients to have multiple procedures to follow these legal Florida protocols is not in patient’s best interest.

I realize Florida had a problem and needed to deal with it but as governments often do they do nothing then do too much.

Talk to your surgeon about how much fat they anticipate needing to remove to get a deal results and if this can be done in one or two procedures.

Best,
