Lipoaspiration is actually the most frecuent cosmetic procedure in aesthetic surgery . This work shows our long term experience in body contouring with large volume liposuction (megaliposuction), trying to demonstrate that it can be applied to selected and prepared patients under multidisciplinary direction. A total of 120 patients were operated on the CIMA (Centro Internacional de Medicina avanzada, Barcelona, España) during 1 year period, from November 2004 to November 2005. We practised liposculpture of different areas with an average aspirated volume of 7,5 l (between 6 and 10 l).In this work we discuss some results and we observe the capacity to keep stable hemodinamic controls with changes in pre a postoperative values of hemoglobin and hematocrit, showing that there is not direct, nor absolute relation between the predictable volume of aspirated fat and the loss of blood; however is more important the quality of the aspirated fat and the anatomical areas treated, to reduce the risks and to assure patients´ satisfaction.

Keywords : Megaliposuction; Fat Volume; Fat quality.
