How much fat do they remove when you have liposuction?

i am having a mini tummy tuck soon as i cant get rid of the excess skin on my stomach after having two children, i am not over weight but have some excess fat on my stomach i am having removed, has anyone had this done?how much fat do they remove usually,i know each case will be different but usually how much weight are you expected to lose?

I just had lipo done on my upper and lower abdomen 2 weeks ago. My doctor told me he took out 1.25 Liters, which is roughly 2.5 lbs. Basically, it is up to your surgeon to determine how much can safely be removed. Through my research, anything over 5 liters is large scale lipo. As for weight loss after, you might not want to weigh yourself for a couple weeks after the surgery, since swelling will replace what you lost. But once swelling subsides, you will see the results.

And to comment on that other answer, the new smartlipo has not been shown to be safe or lasting in the long term yet. I wanted the real, proven procedure to permanently remove fat cells in my problem area, despite the longer recovery time. I am only 10 days post-op today, but I am DELIGHTED with my results and I hope you are just as happy with yours! Good luck and I hope my answer helped! ^_^

Well, people DIE FROM THE OLD LIPOSUCTION everyday. It is unsafe, period and not as effective as smatlipo. No one dies from smartlipo. Many people who have the old lipo are left with a lot of ugly saggy skin, but hey, its your body and your money. You don't need good advice. Report It

I had smartlipo after having two children and I got really great results. Unlike regular lipo it also tightens the skin. Usually with any lipo no more than 4 liters of fat are removed. With smart lipo often no fat is removed at the time of the procedure, but rather the fat is dissolved and removed through your lymphatic system. I had no pain, bruising or downtime and went back to work the next day. Regular lipo would have resulted in significant downtime as well as pain and bruising. The cost is relatively the same: between $1500 to $4,000 per area. Good luck and consider smart lipo/laser lipo instead.
