Limits of Fat Elimination with Liposuction Procedures
In the realm of cosmetic surgeries, liposuction has emerged as a popular choice for contouring and toning various parts of the body. Dr. Rajat Gupta, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Delhi, specializes in this procedure and offers the latest technology at his practice, RG Aesthetics.
The amount of fat that can be safely removed during a single liposuction surgery generally ranges from 5 to 7 liters (approximately 11 to 15 pounds). This figure depends on the patient's overall health, body composition, and the areas being treated. Removing more than this volume may increase the risk of complications such as fluid imbalance, blood loss, and adverse reactions to anesthesia [1][2][4].
However, it's essential to note that these limits may vary based on the patient's size and health. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) defines 5 liters as the threshold for "large-volume liposuction," beyond which the risk of complications may rise. Yet, recent studies suggest that the safe volume may vary depending on the patient's body mass index (BMI) and starting fat content rather than a strict absolute limit [3].
Dr. Gupta aims for highly refined results with safe procedures, using state-of-the-art technology such as power-assisted (MicroAire) and ultrasound-assisted (VASER) liposuction technology. These technologies make the surgery more precise and effective than ever before [6].
It's crucial to remember that liposuction is not intended for weight loss and is not suitable for obese individuals or those looking to lose massive weight. Dedicated diet and exercise are necessary for significant weight loss [7]. The amount of fat removed by liposuction is usually less than 10%.
With 15 years of experience in the domain of aesthetic surgeries, Dr. Gupta has honed his skills to provide his patients with the best remedies and cosmetic procedures. He envisions a future for liposuction that involves the PURE contouring technique, promising even more refined results.
