Is there a Liposuction limit?

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.

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. 

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,
