Lipoaspirate/Vaser- how much does it weigh?

Excellent technical question, but there really isn’t a specific number to put on it. The percentage of fat is quite variable, mostly depending on technique (i.e. wet, super wet, tumescent), but also skill and aggressiveness of the surgeon, body location, and patient. If i’m doing a medial thigh for instance, with a superwet technique I anticipate that about 20% of the infiltrate volume will be removed via aspiration (the remainder absorbed by the body). So if I infiltrate 1 L and aspirate a volume of 1L, I would anticipate about 800ml of that to be fat. This has been pretty consistent as well when the aspirate has been filtered for fat grafting.

This question will vary with each procedure so there is no direct way to answer your question. When the aspirate is suctioned it is collected in containers where it is easily measured. Your surgeon can let you know what was collected during your procedure.

The actual amount of fat and fluid removed is different for every patient. It does depend upon how much fluid was actually infiltrated and the total volume removed and how much fat was present to be removed. If you want to know how much fat was removed, ask your surgeon.
