Florida lipo regulations

In Florida, only 4000cc of fat may be removed during liposuction, which equals approximately 7-8 pounds or 3.5 liters. Additionally, if a patient is having more than one procedure, such as a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) and a tummy tuck, only 1,000cc of fat may be removed.May 5, 2021

    From what I remember it usually goes by volume not weight when performing lipo (canisters with measurements) and even then there is a mixture of blood, serous and tumescent fluid with the fat

I would check a different source, if for no other reason than 4000cc is, by definition, exactly 4 litres. Fat weighs 0.9094g per cc, so 4000 cc of fat weighs 3637.6g, or 8.0194 lbs. It might be right, but the weird conversion mistakes make me doubt it.

Dr. Earle states right in his videos that FL has limits that other states may not have.

The take away is that with multiple procedures (abdominoplasty), FL does not allow much lipo.

And yes I did a copy/paste, and did not check the math, it was a PS site.

Tennessee has different guidelines, etc.

Just do a Google on state restrictions on liposuction w/wo other procedures.

Sounds like a great reason for a trip to another state. Wow, Florida.
