For liposuction to the legs, is it possible to have more than 10% of your body weight removed as long as it’s done in an accredited hospital or facility w/ an overnight stay? Example: if youre 130 pounds, can you have 12% or 15% or more removed (15+ pounds of fat and tumescent)? Or is there a cretain percentage you can’t go over? Again, I’m talking about this being done in a hospital and staying overnight.
