What is aggressive liposuction?

Body contouring/liposuction has evolved over the past years and is not just about fat reduction but more so about sculpting and defining. In patients who have smaller problem areas, you want an energy based device to help melt fat and tighten skin. as well, it helps to define and shape the musculature. This type of liposuction requires a specialized body contouring specialist who is trained in 4D hi definition procedures and can do fat removal with both deep and superficial liposculpture as well as be aggressive and remove large volumes and use the fat to transfer to other areas. Please see an expert for sculpting and defining procedures, whos practice is dedicated to these types of surgeries. Best, Dr. Emer.

For outpatient surgery, I limit the total lipoaspirate volume to 5 Liters for safety reasons. Aggressive liposuction is a relative term... there is ideal amount of fat to remove from any given area to result in an ideal contour. If too much fat is removed, contour irregularities can result. I would meet with a boarded plastic surgeon, and he/she should be able to give you a sense as to whether or not you have enough excess fat to augment buttocks to your desired size.

Aggressive liposuction can refer to the amount of area covered for fat removal or amount of fat recovered from any given area. Too much fat removed from a given area can lead to contour deformity, hyperpigmentation, and other problems. Many of these problems can be difficult or impossible to improve.

There is no absolute amount of fat that can be defined is a limit for liposuction for a given patient. The overall health of the patient as well as the efficiency of the surgeon certainly play a role. Most plastic surgeons limit the amount between four and 6 L

Everyone's aggressive means a different thing. Too aggressive may leave the skin looking damaged. Be careful!

The fat transfer to the buttocks can easily be performed with 4 liters of total fat harvest from a liposuction procedure. If you want more fat removed purely from the liposuction perspective then your surgery will typically be done in a hospital for safety reasons. Your age, health status and unique anatomy will all help to determine how much fat can be safely removed in one session.  Best of Luck   Dr Harrell

Liposuction needs to be done in safe and appropriate amounts.    If too little is taken this amounts to nibbling.  If too much aggression is exerted the result is deformity.    The perfect amount must be taken to get the perfect result.     My Best,     Dr Commons
