In an office setting, the plastic surgery society recommends limiting liposuction to a maximum of 5 liters of total fat. High-volume liposuction is typically better performed in a monitored hospital setting.

The guidelines from the American Society of Plastic Surgery recommend a limit of 5 liters of fat and fluid for liposuction. I fully agree with these limits as the complication rate significantly increases in high volume liposuctions. These complications are not something that either the doctor or patient should risk. If a patient desires more fat removal, they can consider a second liposuction procedure once everything has stabilized. In reality, 5 liters is already a substantial amount of fat. If a patient requires more, they may need to consider a tummy tuck. I recommend scheduling a consultation with your plastic surgeon to determine the best procedure for you. Thank you for the great question.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommends limiting outpatient liposuction to 5 liters or less. Larger volumes may require overnight monitoring and a focus on preventing blood clots.

The amount of liposuction performed in the outpatient setting is typically limited to 5 liters in most states. To ensure optimal results, it is recommended to find a plastic surgeon with elite credentials who performs a high volume of liposuction procedures each year. Reviewing before and after photo galleries can give an idea of the surgeon's ability to deliver desired outcomes.
