How much tumescent fluid is used?

SM8778
Hello If I am getting 360 vaser lipo to my legs from groin to ankle and am told the surgeon is estimating 5 liters for debulking (lipedema), does that mean it will actually be 10 liters since it will include tumescent fluid? I thought they inject as much tumescent as the amount of fat they plan to remove? So if I’m estimated to need 5 liters removed from my legs, I’d need 5 liters of tumescent? I’m less than 110 pounds for reference (if they go by ml/kg for injection of tumescent).
