Removing Fat
April 12, 2009writer No Comments »Thinking about getting some lipo done and want to know how much of that blubber you can get rid of?
Well, the amount of unwanted fat an individual can have removed during a single liposuction procedure really depends on a variety of factors.
The resulting contour desired
The physician scheduled to perform your procedure will determine how much fat can be removed to achieve the contour you want. With their experience and expertise, they’ll know if half a litre of fat will eliminate that saddle bag, or 2 litres for that pot belly. They’ll also take into consideration the tautness of the skin in the area so your new contour won’t be adversely affected by unwanted wrinkles or cellulite.
How much can be safely removed
While about 4-5 litres of fat is generally considered the maximum amount that can be safely removed from a patient on an outpatient basis, this figure may vary depending on the individual’s physical health. 4 litres may be too much for some. As a result, the tests taken prior to the procedure help your physician determine the maximum that can be safely removed.
