Dr. Masri accepts patients with a high BMI -- up to 45 -- as long they’re in good overall health otherwise. In some cases, Dr. Masri will accept patients with an even higher BMI.
Getting rid of hard-to-reach fat pockets or fatty tissues may be challenging, even if you exercise and diet regularly.
While liposuction isn’t a weight loss method, you can get a high volume liposuction to eliminate fat pockets even if you haven’t yet reached your ideal weight.
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess body fat by suctioning it out. You can target specific areas of your body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, neck, and arms.
Usually, your plastic surgeon will only remove a small amount of fat at a time. With the plus size liposuctions Dr. Nick Masri offers, however, he can remove as much as 4-5 liters in one sitting.
Aside from removing excess body fat, liposuction also body contours specific areas for a tighter and slimmer appearance.
You can combine liposuction with other cosmetic surgeries such as tummy tucks, breast reductions, and facelifts to fully achieve your desired look. Still, as previously mentioned, it’s important to remember that you should not receive liposuction as a way to lose weight.
The more fat you have removed, the more risks and complications involved, which is why five liters of fat removal during a single sitting is the limit.
Plus size liposuction specifically has long-term health benefits including less cardiovascular risk, improved metabolic balance, and lower insulin resistance.
With over 20 years of experience operating on post-bariatric patients and those who have experienced massive weight loss, Dr. Masri offers cosmetic surgery to those who may have been turned down by other surgeons due to their high BMI and gives them a chance to achieve their dream body.

Take note of the following limitations:
Before your plus size liposuction, you should prepare yourself by doing the following:
Before the actual surgery, you’ll be given either regional or general anesthesia by your anesthesiologist. Regional anesthesia is applied only to the target area to numb it, while general anesthesia is applied to your whole body. You may also be given a sedative through an IV injection to calm and relax you.
Once you are unconscious, the surgical team will inject a solution into your body to decrease bleeding. At the same time, this medical solution will keep skin and fat separate from body structures, like blood vessels and muscles, to prevent damage.
Dr. Masri will start making small incisions on your skin. He will insert a tube called a cannula into these incisions, vacuuming as much as five liters of fat from your body.
Once the procedure is done, you’ll be sent to the recovery room, where you’ll stay for about two to three hours. Dr. Masri will also provide special instructions for your recovery that will vary depending on the patient.
