What is the maximum weight allowance for liposuction surgery?

I weigh over 500 pounds, but a significant portion of that weight is due to excess skin. I am not interested in undergoing gastric bypass surgery. If I can have a substantial amount of the excess skin removed, can you assist me with my weight loss goals?

The amount of fat removed with liposuction should not exceed 10% of the patient’s weight. For example, a person weighing 60 kilos should have a maximum of 6 liters removed. However, it should be noted that liposuction is not a method of losing weight. For this reason, I prefer not to go beyond the safe range of 2 to 6 liters.Bariatric Surgery will be a good solution for your case.
