Is it safe to have full body liposuction? I have a surgery date coming in May to have liposuction performed on my inner thighs, outer thighs, front of thighs and back of thighs, including stomach, back, flanks, and bra line. Surgery would take about 3 hours.

Answer: Liposuction If you are healthy and the amount of fat removed isn't too high this should be safe. The three hours of surgical time is considered within a safe time frame. I encourage you to speak to your surgeon about the risks and benefits of doing these areas in one stage. She/He is most familiar with the details of your surgery and health history.

Answer: Liposuction Dear Philosophical85412, some plastic surgeons may want to split this into two operations depending on the time needed. Its best to see a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine your options and whether it would take too long, more than 4 hours, to do all.
