How many cc's have to be removed from the abdomen to have it considered to be an aggressive treatment? My BMI is 23 if that helps. My surgeon was able to lipo a full 5 L and said only 2500cc were fat. This was generated from multiple areas on my body including the abdomen, the flanks, the back, and a little from the arms and inner thighs. Was this an aggressive lipo treatment?
Answer: Aggressive lipo? How many cc's have to be removed from the abdomen to have it considered to be an aggressive treatment? If you have a nice smooth result with a lot of fat removed, you should really be thanking your surgeon. I can assure you that I see at least 5 people a week who do not have smooth results and want me to revise a previous surgery.

Answer: Too aggressive? The hardest thing when teaching liposuction is teaching when enough is enough. I always tell the students :"its not what you take, its what you leave behind". It is essential to leave a good layer of fat under the skin so that the skin redrapes evenly with a cushion of fat underneath it to support it. To answer your question though we would need to see you in consultation unfortunately

Answer: Aggressive liposuction Patients have become very aware of the dangers of aggressive liposuction: unfixable irregularities, waviness, and discoloration. What is aggressive liposuction? In some patients 2500 is way too much. In others, it is the perfect amount. Doctors with a conservative attitude toward liposuction generally have fewer problems. Also doctors who know when a lift will serve their patient and when not also give their patients more realistic expectations. Also there are many advances in cannula design, radiofrequency treatments and anesthetic delivery that make liposuction safer and more predictable.

Answer: Aggressive Liposuction Hello, Aggressive liposuction is less about total volume (that would be known as 'high volume liposuction'), and more about what was left behind. Without having seen you before and after surgery, and without high quality, non-selfie photos, nothing can be said about your surgery. I can tell you that if your surgeon was an ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeon with at least a decade of experience in specializing in body contouring procedures, you can likely trust what he said. Best of luck!

Answer: Aggressive lipo? How many cc's have to be removed from the abdomen to have it considered to be an aggressive treatment? Aggressive liposuction can mean excessive attempts at fat removal leaving dimples or can simply imply large volume.Stopping at 5000 ccs total volume (fat plus saline solution) is wise and reasonably safe. Some choose to stop at 4000 cc total volume to avoid post operative fluid shifts, blood loss and risks of fatigue and dizziness.It sounds to me like your doctor made reasonable decisions keeping your safety in mind while being somewhat aggressive but not dangerous for a healthy patient.Enjoy your results and keep in mind that as surgeons we use our best judgment to combine achievement of patient goals with safe outcomes.Best wishes, Jon A Perlman MD FACS Certified, Am Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am.
