Abstract
Megaliposculpture refers to the aspiration of 10 l or more by liposuction. The author describes the procedure and the before and after care as well as possible complications. The author has had many successful results from the procedure. The author shows many of these patients and their follow-up. However, because of advances in bariatric surgery, drugs, and diets, there is no longer a need for this complex operation.
