Liposuction procedure is a great way to remove fat. Your liposuction surgeon in one operation can remove about 50% to 90% fat in the treated area. The amount of fat removed however depends on several key factors. These include the quantity of fat present in the body, the fibrosity of the patients fat. In some cases the patients have fat components that has hardened and is tougher than the average. This is a key component that would determine how much fat can be removed in one go. 

To estimate the amount of fat that can be removed by this procedure a great method is to pinch the fat and see how deep is the fat. You will yourself understand how deep or tough your fat muscles are . To do this at first you need to take a deep breath inside and tighten your muscle. Then you rub your hands outside the skin. The distance between the skin outside of the tensed muscle is the thickness of your fat layer. 

Your liposuction surgeon before doing a surgery will find out how much fat is there and will accordingly give you an estimate based on it. In fact the surgeon cannot indiscriminately remove fat from the body as he/she needs to keep into mind your time for liposuction recovery. The maximum amount of fat that can be removed from the body at one go is around 10l.
