What is large volume liposuction?

what is liposuction for large size people

Advances have made the removal of larger volumes of fat with less blood loss easier. However, large volume liposuction is a more complex and physiologically different procedure than traditional liposuction, in which small volumes of fat are removed.
Unfortunately, the increasing number of potential patients makes it relatively easy for inadequately trained or inexperienced physicians to encounter disastrous complications or even death when performing large volume liposuction. Conversely, experience has shown that when properly trained surgeons perform large volume liposuction under ideal conditions, it is a safe and effective procedure for removing excess fat with low complication and morbidity rates.
The definition of 鈥渓arge volume liposuction鈥?varies in the plastic surgery literature. In fact, no strict definition exists and the term is somewhat arbitrary. The most common definitions refer to either total fat removed during the procedure (eg, 4 L of fat removal) or total volume removed during the procedure (fat plus wetting solution, eg, 5 L of total volume removal). Because many of the complications associated with large volume liposuction are related to fluid shifts and fluid balance, classifying the procedure as large volume based on the total volume removed from the patient, including fat, wetting solution, and blood, makes more sense. Large volume liposuction, as most plastic surgeons refer to the procedure, is defined as the removal of more than 5 L of total volume from the patient.
To minimize the risk of death and disastrous complication during large volume liposuction, 5 pillars of safety must be strictly adhered to.
The surgeon must be properly trained and educated in liposuction techniques and have a thorough understanding of the physiologic changes that occur with regular and large volume liposuction.
The anesthesiologist working with the surgeon also must be well trained and have a complete understanding of the physiology associated with infusion and removal of large volumes of fluids.
The facility where the procedure is performed must be completely equipped to deal with any problem or complication that may occur during or after the procedure. The facility should be certified and accredited by a nationally recognized surgery accreditation body.
The support staff working in the operating room and recovery room should be thoroughly trained and familiar with the procedure, care, and recovery of the patient.

pretty well the same as for anyone only they have more fat tissues
large amounts of fat to be sucked out
Removal of up to 6000cc of fat.

High-volume Liposuction: Liposuction procedures where a large amount of fat is being removed are referred to as high-volume liposuction, defined as removing more than 5000 ml of fat (10 pounds). The more fat is removed, the greater the risk of complications from the procedure. Because of the much higher risks, most high-volume liposuction is performed in a hospital.
