Hi! I am 5'6" and 165 lbs. I have had several consultations with Plastic surgeons telling me different amounts for how much fat they would/could remove with 360 lipo. Before I decide, I wanted to ask here. I know its difficult to do with only photos but based on what you see, how many liters would you take out? I would like a flat stomach if possible. Every PS has said my skin is good so no TT needed. Thanks so much for your help.

Answer: It all depends on the frame Hello and thank you for your question.You seem to be quite fit and the thickness of the fat pad on the stomach seems to be less than 1 inch ( bear in mind when you pinch you have twice the skin and twice the fat between your fingers) We do not have a back picture and 360 lipo usually adresses the back rolls as well! So any where between 3 and 5 liters of aspiration fluid I think is a fair approximation.The question of the flat stomach has to be assessed together with the position of your hips / bassin / lumbar tilt... etc. all this to tell you that lipo can reduce the thickness of the pinch but not correct the posture: only abdominal muscle tightening can do that: training or abdominoplasty! As abdominoplasty seems to be far from a reasonable indication this leaves you with the ... gym... even after the lipo!

Answer: Liters of Fat to Remove with Liposuction You do not need to worry about how many liters will be removed. What you need to worry about is how the surgeon does the liposuction and how much will be left. You would be amazed at how little fat probably not get more than 2 liters, and that would be pushing it. Your main problem is not the external fat that liposuction can remove but intraabdominal fat that only diet and lifestyle changes can change. If someone tells you that they can make your abdomen flat, do not believe them.
