We are all built differently. Some patients have a thick layer of subcutaneous fat, accessible by liposuction, while other individuals carry their weight internally, deep to the muscles of the abdominal wall, as "visceral fat," inaccessible to liposuction. The amount that can be suctioned can frequently be predicted after a thoughtful physical exam. It is however, somewhat unrealistic to expect removal of 6-7 liters from the abdomen during liposuction. First, any patient with that much adipose is likely to be declined as a liposuction candidate and would likely be directed toward diet and exercise, prior to consider body contouring. Furthermore, the removal of that much soft tissue would certainly lead to loose, redundant skin, and that patient would likely be better served by excision of skin and soft tissue (tummy tuck) rather than just liposuction. Hope this explanation is helpful!
