PLUS SIZE & HIGH BMI PATIENTS
The technological advancements impacting health and aesthetics are truly astounding. If you consider yourself a plus-sized individual, you can now confidently embrace a healthier body without life-threatening risks. Large volume liposuction in Miami is now within your reach!
What is Large Volume Liposuction Miami?
Large volume liposuction is a safe and effective cosmetic procedure that eradicates as much as 11 pounds of fat—certainly more than the usual weight removed in regular liposuction. Just imagine the dramatic change this would provide you!
Traditional liposuction can only eliminate three to five pounds of fat. But large volume liposuction is said to cut bulging “love handles” by removing up to five liters of fat. New moms can gain back their pre-baby body shape with this cosmetic wonder.
What’s more, individuals who’ve undergone this procedure can now wear clothes two to three sizes smaller than their regular clothes. They get all of these without dealing with the emotional aspect of going through weight loss programs that don’t seem to work.
But the truly remarkable impact of large volume liposuction is that it decreases insulin resistance and cholesterol levels.
If you want to know and understand large volume liposuction better, this article is perfect for you!
Are You a Good Candidate for High BMI Miami Liposuction?
Here’s a fact: Your body mass index or BMI is not an accurate representation of your overall health and condition.
Lots of factors contribute to a higher BMI. These include height, muscle density, genetics, and more.
As such, your surgeon will conduct a medical evaluation to ensure your safety. However, these are general guidelines that you must comply with to be considered for large volume Miami liposuction:
- A clean bill of physical and mental health despite having a high BMI
- Within 50 pounds of your weight goal
- No uncontrolled chronic medical conditions, such as severe cardiovascular diseases and coagulation disorders
- Not pregnant
- Have realistic expectations on the results of your Miami liposuction
How Does Your Plastic Surgeon Perform Large Volume Liposuction?
Before any procedure, your plastic surgeon will conduct preoperative screening and testing. In this phase, you’ll have your consultations and medical evaluations.
Once deemed fit, your plastic surgeon will give specific preparation instructions to make sure you are qualified to undergo the procedure. Preparations can range from weeks to months leading to the scheduled operation date.
On the day of the procedure, a board-certified anesthesiologist will administer general anesthesia. They will also monitor you during and after the liposuction.
Incisions are made on your skin. Through these incisions, cannulas are inserted to break down fatty tissues and suction them out of the body.
More often than not, surgeons use the tumescent liposuction method. In this method, diluted lidocaine and epinephrine are injected into fatty areas. Lidocaine acts as the anesthetic, while epinephrine acts as a vasoconstrictor.
This method is the safest and causes the least amount of discomfort, such as bruising and swelling. What’s more, the lidocaine injected into the fatty areas reduces postoperative pain. The epinephrine constricts capillaries, therefore minimizing blood loss.
After the procedure, your plastic surgeon will wrap your operative areas with special compression garments. Ideally, you should stay in the facility for 24 hours. During the 24-hour monitoring, your surgeon will assess whether there is excessive swelling, bruising, or pain.
If there are no complications, you’re usually allowed to go home after 24 hours.
How Do You Recover from High BMI Liposuction in Miami?
Simply put, recovery is different from one patient to another. But you should always note that the recovery period of large volume Miami liposuction is more prolonged than traditional liposuction.
That’s because it involves a larger operative area. But with time and careful follow-through of your surgeon’s instructions, you’ll recover and start enjoying the results of your liposuction Miami.
Here are some reminders for a speedy and safe recovery from large volume liposuction in Miami.
- Rest for two weeks after the procedure.
- Avoid showers or baths during the first days following liposuction.
- Wear fitted garments or compression wraps.
- During the first month following the operation, avoid strenuous activities.
- Light physical activities—including walking—are encouraged.
- Follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions. These instructions may include caring for your incisions, managing pain, wearing fitted or compression garments correctly, and limiting physical exertion while recovering.
- Call your specialist if you experience excessive bleeding, swelling, or bruising.
What are the Results of Plus Size Miami Liposuction?
After six weeks, you’ll now see the massive change liposuction Miami has given you.
For most women, they’ll enjoy an hourglass figure without unsightly bulges. For men, they get to enjoy a torso free from love handles. Individuals who’ve undergone high BMI liposuction will also notice a toned and firmer abdominal area.
What’s even more impressive is that all of these beautiful and confidence-boosting results will look natural if performed by a skilled, experienced, and board-certified plastic surgeon.
With the right surgeon by your side, you can say hello to a natural-looking, flattering and healthier body shape.
How Much Does It Cost?
Now that you’ve had a glimpse of what to expect throughout the procedure, one question can still linger on your mind. Like many of my previous and satisfied clients, money is a concern.
After all, money doesn’t fall on trees!
The final cost depends on several factors. These include your location, desired treatment areas, chosen plastic surgeon, and other hospital and laboratory fees.
But if you’re committed to seeing yourself in the best form of your life, the cost shouldn’t be your main consideration. It should be your selected plastic surgeon, as he is the one who could make or break your liposuction Miami.

Be careful in contacting surgeons who advertise cheap and too-good-to-be-true rates for their services. Unlicensed surgeons without the appropriate board certifications might only harm your body and put your life at risk.

I do not use BMI as a sole criterion in determining one's candidacy for surgery.
As all patients have individualized goals and surgical nuances, a high BMI should not prevent one from achieving your plastic surgery goals.
