Is it common for a Plastic Surgeon to put a limit on how many CC's of fat can be removed in one surgery?
Answer: Liposuction limitation In California the maximum legal limit for outpatient liposuction is five liters of aspirate. Skin elasticity can also be a limitation. Choosing the best surgeon to perform the liposuction is much more important than the total amount removed.

Answer: Liposuction Limit Thanks for your question. Without an examination, it is really difficult to say what would help your specific situation. I would suggest a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options.

Answer: Liposuction: Information Dear Ms. Aging and young, Thank you for your questions. Safety, is the number one concern we, as Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, have for our patients. It is not only the amount of fat removed but the amount of tumescent fluid injected (containing local anesthetics and epinephrine). The usual amount of tumescent is often a 1:1 ratio. The following is based on data, usual and customary practice and stipulated in laws in California. Other stated may have different volume restrictions Out patient surgery:No more than 5,000 cc of aspirated fat In patient surgery (staying over night):As much fat as needed as along as vital signs remain stable. Immediate access to blood products, fluids and monitoring of vital signs. I recommend that you make several consultative appointments with Plastic Surgeons who are experienced and Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In addition ideally they are members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery). I wish you my best and success, R. A. Hardesty, MD, FACSDiplomate and Certified by the Am. Bd. of Plastic Surgerywwwimagineplasticsurgery.com4646 Brockton AveRiverside, Ca 92506(951) 686-7600

Answer: Liposuction Facts--For Best Results, Go With VASER HI DEF 4D Liposculpture, ThermiRF, fat grafting for body shaping This limit is 5 liters. Keep in mind, Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, rather it is for sculpting and defining and removing problem areas that cannot be removed with weight loss and diet / exercise alone. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Liposuction limit Dear Agingandyoung, plastic surgeons usually don't remove more than 5 liters of fat at one session. That is the top limit for a safe liposuction. Actually, most of plastic surgeons don't go near that limit as the chance of complications is higher. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am.
