Serial suction lipectomy is a safe method whereby larger areas and larger amounts of subcutaneous fat can be removed in several subsequent steps to minimize transfusion, minimize hospitalization, and maximize the improved health and safety of our patients. Six weeks should elapse between major resections, and a maximum of 2000 cc can be removed at one time unless transfusion is available.
