Later this year I`m having tumescent lipo with local anasthetic, on my belly only. This is ambulatory, walk-in walk-out. What is the most they could remove in that one session? How much fat can I expect to be removed? I am 186cm tall (6ft2) and weigh 92kg (203lb)

At one week from surgery, due to swelling, you may be the same size as you were before surgery. Please wear your compression garment and ask your surgeon to show you how to massage the areas. You may find after the swelling subsides, that you have the shape you wanted.
I recommend avoiding smoking, and anyone who smokes, and drinking alcohol at least 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after surgery. Do drink plenty of water and eat a proper diet of fruits, vegetables and protein. Do avoid high salty foods and drinks. also exercise, least walking, is beneficial. also,...
I have my patients stop alcohol intake 5 days prior to lipo, botox, fillers etc.... since there is a chance of excess bruising from alcohol use as well as advil, or aspirin etc... They can usually drink a few days after lipo.
