What is the max amount allowed for removal from back and flanks? And what's the max CC injection for BBL in Florida?

Hi What is the lipo max CC for removal from back and flanks 28 YO 5'0 and max CC injection for BBL in Florida ? Also does Florida require you to have your lipo 360 front and back split with a Brazilian butt lift up into two sessions? Is this for safety reasons or just to make more money? If not what other surgeons do a 360 lipo front and back with Brazilian Butt Lift

Max lipo cc

Hi Vixen_mermaid,Current Regulations in Florida limit supernatant fat aspiration to 4000cc for safety reasons and should be followed.  The only reason to "split" lipo into "sessions" would be if you want to remove more than 4000cc of fat.  Please see attached web reference.  Good luck!

The state of Florida board of medicine limits the amount of pure fat remove to 4000cc or 4liters. This is implemented for patient safety. Any higher volume then the patient would require resuscitation at a hospital setting.  A Brazilian butt lift is a safe and effective procedure that combines liposuction of the abdomen hips waist and back and then fat grafting to the gluteal region. This is a safe and effective way to contour the lower body. After a successful Brazilian Butt lift, the fat that remains will stay there for the rest of your life. Like the rest of the tissue in your body this fat will grow and age with you.Choose a board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of Brazilian Butt Lifts and has privileges to do this surgery at a local university hospital. This says his credentials have been checked out by fellow Drs. All surgeries carry risk, talk to your plastic surgeon and choose one wisely.Many surgeons, including myself, offer online virtual consultations where you send us your photos and we can estimate the cost. I, like many surgeons, also offer free consultations so that you can be examined and given the most accurate quote.
