I recently had a mommy makeover, lipoabdominoplasty and breast lift. I also had liposuction to my lower back, hips and upper arms. Original weight was 155lbs. I am 5'6" and 42 years old. In total 10.4lbs of fat and skin were removed. It seems 10.4 lbs was a great deal to remove. The PS nurse shared with approximately 7.5lbs were removed the rest was skin. Was 7.5lbs too much? Is this a normal, healthy, average amount to remove? I was required to have an overnight stay at the surgical center.
