Can Liposuction of the Stomach, Flanks, Arms and Inner Thighs Be Done in One Procedure?

Multiarea liposuction is definitely a reasonable option provided the patient is in good health and the surgery performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. If the amount of fat removed exceeds a certain volume, an overnight stay may be required. Liposuction is a fantastic way to remove the unwanted fat in the abdomen, flanks, hips, and inner/outer thighs to achieve a more contoured and beautiful aesthetic result. 

You certainly can have liposuction of multiple areas at the same time. You need to make sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon with a lot of experience doing liposuction. With so many areas, you will need general anesthesia, which is very safe in a healthy person. You will not get a good result with local anesthesia only. Good luck from NYC

Liposuction of multiple areas such as abdomen, flanks, thighs and upper arms can be done safely during one surgery if the surgeon is a Board Certified plastic surgeon experienced in multiple area liposuction techniques.  In an out patient setting, up to 5 liters of fat can safely be removed and the patient sent home with a competent and responsible caregiver. 

There is no particular downside to multiple areas being done as long as the total volume of fat removed stays within reasonable guidelines.  The patient's health and appropriate caregiver, the surgeon's skill and experience will all determine the degree of safety in any liposuction procedure.

Liposuction of multiple areas can be done in one setting in the appropriate patient.  A thorough medical history needs to be obtained.  Also, the amount of fat to be removed from all of these areas can be a limiting factor to what can be done in one setting.  Make sure you see a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your question T.F. The answer really depends on your health and Body Mass Index (BMI) which is determined by your height and weight. We have safely performed multiple areas of liposuction. May of our liposuction procedure are performed under local anesthesia with some sedation. General anesthesia is not required. If you are healthy and your BMI is <30, I am confident you can have liposuction of all these areas in one visit.
