Many of us have heard of liposuction<\/a> and its incredible ways to reshape one\u2019s figure. However, many believe liposuction is a form of weight loss surgery that can help patients lose significant amounts of fat. While liposuction removes fat, it is not a significant weight loss surgery but a reshaping procedure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the FDA, liposuction can remove eight to eleven pounds of fat. Anything more than that is considered too dangerous to remove. However, the amount of fat you have removed depends on your specific figure and how much fat you have. If you need more fat removed, it should be broken up into sessions spaced at least three months apart.<\/p>\n

Often, less fat must be removed to achieve the patient\u2019s goals. Lipo is a body shaping and contouring surgery rather than a weight loss procedure. Most patients don\u2019t need to remove large amounts of fat to gain the desired shape and structure. The best way to know how much fat your liposuction can remove is to consult an experienced provider.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At Sarasota Surgical Arts, Dr. Alberico Sessa<\/a> understands how to provide the best liposuction to suit your body type and overall goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
