Large Volume Liposuction
Dr. Gabbay specializes in large volume liposuction procedures, and has extensive experience in performing these treatments. He understands that patients may often only be able to achieve their goals with the aid of cosmetic medicine, and focuses on providing every patient with transformative results. In a single session of high BMI liposuction, your surgeon may be able to remove an average of between 4-5 liters of fat.
Dr. Gabbay is pleased to offer his patients large volume liposuction for more significant fat removal at Gabbay Plastic Surgery.
What Is Large Volume Liposuction?
Large volume liposuction is a specialized procedure for patients with large amounts of fat to be removed, and it is also called plus size or high BMI liposuction. It involves more than the traditional liposuction method, providing optimal results for large-scale fat removal with a maintained focus on patient safety.
The procedure is possible through the use of tumescent techniques, which allow for high-volume fat removal without losing too much blood. Dr. Gabbay is a specialist in tumescent procedures, providing a safe and comfortable experience with results that patients enjoy.
At Gabbay Plastic Surgery, large volume liposuction is also conducted with the greatest care and attention to patient safety, ensuring that large-scale fat removal can be achieved without any unnecessary risks.
Benefits
Because large volume liposuction is specifically designed for patients with larger amounts of fat to be removed, you’ll benefit from a greater amount of fat removal than traditional procedures. This means that it can provide more dramatic and transformative results than standard techniques.
- Significant reduction in body fat
- Performed by a surgeon experienced in tumescent procedures
- Minimal blood loss during the procedure
- See up to 4-5 liters of fat removal per session on average
- Can be combined with other procedures for tightening skin
Is High BMI Liposuction Right for Me?
High BMI liposuction can help if you have large amounts of fat that cannot be removed through traditional methods. If body contouring is necessary, it can provide the desired results with fewer risks and more effective fat removal. However, the ideal candidate who meets the below requirements will likely have the best outcomes:
- Be at a stable weight (additional weight gain can impact results)
- Have a healthy lifestyle and be in good health
- Have realistic expectations about the procedure and a healthy approach to it
- Be non-smoking (smoking interferes with recovery and results)

What Is a Plus-Size Liposuction Procedure Like?
The plus size liposuction procedure typically starts with the patient receiving sedation in order to ensure comfort throughout the process. Next, measured volumes of tumescent fluid are injected into the area that will be treated. This fluid is made up of saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine, and it helps reduce blood loss during the procedure while also reducing pain afterward.
The fat is then removed using large volume cannulas, which are specialized hollow tubes that are inserted through small incisions. The surgeon will then suction out large amounts of fat as necessary, sculpting the body to the desired shape.
Once the procedure is complete, patients will be taken to a recovery area where they can rest and monitor their condition. When Dr. Gabbay confirms everything went well, you will be able to return home, typically on that same day.
What Is the Recovery Process?
Patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort after plus size liposuction, but these effects should subside within about two weeks. Patients typically should take about two to three weeks off from work and strenuous activities, but it’s important to follow the instructions given by your surgeon unique to your situation. These instructions are designed to facilitate recovery, reduce the risk of complications, and improve your results in the long run. Dr. Gabbay will also likely see you for a follow-up visit, and provide any updated instructions.
