How can my doctor tell if all the fat has been removed when doing a specific area?
All the fat is never removed from a given area. This would be abnormal and undesirable. All the fat that can or should be removed from an area is what liposuction is attempting to achieve. Knowing that this has been accomplished is where the experience comes in, in not only evaluating the patient for suitable areas but in carrying out the procedure properly. Extensive training in and experience in both surgical and liposuction techniques is optimal for proper fat removal.
