Removing 5L with liposuction - is that too much volume?

Gorgeous772848
I have a lot of anxiety about my upcoming procedure- lipo 360, arms, chin, inner & outer thigh, body tite to inner thigh, arms & chin. It will be over 5L and I will be staying overnight, but I’m worried about complications. It seems most everything I’ve read says you should not do over 5L in one sitting even if you’re staying overnight bc it’s too risky… I am 32, 5’4, 175lbs. Can someone please advise if this is too many areas and too much volume?
