Answer: Liposuction It should be possible to have your procedures in two stages. It may be safer this way. Florida does have regulations that limit the amount of fat removed in one procedure, so it is good that your surgeon is keeping this in mind. We do suction more in one procedure in our practice, but every practice is different and you should follow the directions of your surgeon.

Answer: Lipo limits While you can liposuction several areas at once there is a limit to how much fat can be removed safely. Risks from liposuction increase significantly when over 5 liters of fat are suctioned out. We usually stay below this limit for patient safety. We’ve found that we’re able to achieve dramatic improvements for our patients with 2 to 4 liters of liposuction, depending on their needs. It's best to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to make a realistic plan for what you hope to achieve.
