In Florida: only 1 liter of fat can be removed when you are having surgery, e.g. a tummy tuck, or only 4 liters of fat can be removed when you just have liposuction. Liposuction is based on individual weight, the patient personal goal, type of procedure, and of course safety. Liposuction is not a weight loss tool, but a way to remove excess fat for fine sculpting and contouring. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Florida has some different laws in place for liposuction (4 liters of supernant fat in surgery center as single procedure, 1 liter when done in combination). In most states, you can liposuction 5 liters and transfer whatever amount is deemed appropriate. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
Yes, this is true. As an outpatient procedure in Florida, patients can only receive up to 4 liters of liposuction / fat removal as a stand-alone procedure or 1 liter of fat removed when in combination with another procedure, like a tummy tuck. The cutoff is somewhat arbitrary since it is a 5 liter cutoff in most places outside of FL, but the intention is to protect our patients from too much body fluid change at one time. Trust a board certified plastic surgeon to look out for your best results with your safety in mind.
