how much does lipo remove?

[Kyra]

If you decide to get liposuction and you have the money for it and decide it’s worth the bruising and healing time, how much fat will they actually suck out of you?

Will it do an entire diet’s worth of fat, or is it just a little bit at a time? Can you go in obese and come out a size 7, for example?

I was under the impression that you could pretty much have as much taken off as you want. It gets more dangerous, though, the more you have taken off. Also, you’ll have to have additional surgeries for all the loose skin that is left over.

Most lipo surgeries don't take off a huge amount of weight. They can make a big and noticeable difference, but it's rare for someone to go from being obese to being slim. That's not really what it's all about. It's more of a smaller to moderate reduction than an extreme change.

I think Lipo is only meant for a few pounds at a time. It's only in tv shows that it lets the doctors vacuum out tons of weight. I really don't think it's that dramatic that it produces results that big.
