Hello , I’m just curious on how many rounds the body can go though plastic surgery before it gets very risky/life threatening for the patient. I’ve heard of patients getting 2-3 rounds of 360 Lipo , bbl, etc.. but never heard of anyone getting 4, 5 or even 6 rounds . Is there a reason why ? Thank you to all doctors that answer :)

Answer: Liposuction Hi there, great question! While the amount of fat to be removed from one patient depends on how much fat they actually have, once over 5 liters of fat has been removed, this is considered "high volume" and the patient has to stay at a hospital overnight. It does become more difficult to do liposuction on an area that has already had it done before but if a patient has multiple areas of concern, most doctors will recommend them splitting these into multiple procedures. So for example, this month you could have a BBL and have up to 5 liters of fat removed from your abdomen but still want liposuction in additional areas. Your doctor might recommend that you come back in 3-6 months to have the next area of concern addressed and so on. I hope this helps! Dr. Nicholas Holwand, MD

Answer: How many rounds of plastic surgery can the body go through? The number of liposuctions a patient can have is according to how much and what the patient has had done. It's totally an individual issue. Certainly several.It occurs to me that someone that needs that much liposuction over and over needs to have a life style change or some sort of gastric by pass or sleeve. Liposuction is not a cure for bad dietary habits.Thank you for your question, and good luck.
