Despite the rumors, mostly all patients who have liposculpture have only a minimal amount of fat removed. On average, it amounts to just under 10 pounds! This is a far cry from the stereotype of fat people getting skinny via liposculpture surgery.
That being said, there is a type of treatment typically called “large volume liposculpture” in which much much more fat is removed, typically equating to a few drops in size. This type of treatment carries with it an increase in many risks to the patients health. The truth is that only a minority of physicians have the experience that qualifies them to safely do such a procedure without putting unnecessary risk on the patient.
If you are interesting in this form of cosmetic surgery, it’s important you really drill the surgeon and have him or her prove their competence in performing such as a large amount of fat removal. Ask for some solid before and after photos of the work and see what they have already accomplished in others. If the doctor is unable or unwilling to provide this type of evidence, then move on to a new doctor who will!
