Multiple Areas at the Same Time With Laser Lipo?

Thank you for your question.

Laser Liposuction can be done on multiple areas at the same time.

Generally we plan that we not remove more than 5000 cc's at any one time from all areas.

Other considerations are time of surgery and comfort for you after surgery.

Multiple areas that require a lot of repositioning lengthen surgery.

 

Thank you for your question. Yes, all can be done at one time, but under local there are limits on numbing agents to be used, and under general anesthesia, the options are more diverse. I hope this helps.

The safety of laser lipo in several areas depends on several factors. The first is the amount removed. If you have less than 5 liters of liposuciton performed, it is safe to do as an outpatient procedure. This would be a large amount to do under local anesthesia. The other factor is the total dose of local anesthetic administered.   In office procedures are usually smaller in the range of 2 liters. Between 2-5 liters are better done as outpatient surgery procedures in a surgery center or hospital.  Over 5 liters requires hospitalizaiton.
