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 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.

Answer: Is there a Liposuction limit? Thank you for your question. While you can liposuction several areas at once there is a limit to how much fat can be removed safely. Risks from liposuction increase significantly when over 5 liters of fat are suctioned out. We usually stay below this limit for patient safety. We’ve found that we’re able to achieve dramatic improvements for our patients with 2 to 4 liters of liposuction, depending on their needs.
