In the EU, is there a maximum amount of fat that can be removed through lipo for a patient who is not 'overweight'?

Safety first - the amount of total fluid (fat and body fluid)that can be removed safely depends on many things but generally speaking should not exceed 5 liters. Removed fat can be moved to areas where more fat is desirable. BodyTite is a procedure where the fat is removed and skin is tightened. I have been performing BodyTite Liposuction for over 7 years and it is a great technique for fat removal as well as skin tightening.Please make sure that you see an experienced doctor for a thorough consultation and assessment prior to undergoing any treatments.Best regards and I hope this helps, Dr. Sapijaszko (Fellow, American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery)

Thanks for your question. While you can liposuction several areas at once there is a limit to how much fat can be removed safely. Risks from liposuction increase significantly when over 5 liters of fat are suctioned out. We usually stay below this limit for patient safety. We’ve found that we’re able to achieve dramatic improvements for our patients with 2 to 4 liters of liposuction, depending on their needs.

 I appreciate your concern, however when considering any elective cosmetic procedure, your safety should be the first priority! Most board-certified plastic surgeons would not consider removing more than 4-5 L of fat in one outpatient setting for safety purposes. It appears from your photos that you should fall well below that number. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for safety reasons and to increase your chances of the best possible result. Good luck.
