How to Use the Liposuction Weight Loss Calculator
Follow these steps to calculate your new body fat percentage after liposuction:

How the Liposuction Weight Loss Calculator Works
This calculator estimates the new body fat percentage after the removal of a certain volume of fat through liposuction:
- It takes your current weight and body fat percentage to calculate your current body fat weight.
- It then subtracts the amount of fat to be removed (converted from liters to kilograms, assuming fat density is approximately 0.9 kg/l).
- Finally, it calculates your new body fat percentage based on your new total weight and new body fat weight.
Limitations
Keep in mind that this calculator provides an estimate and not an exact calculation:
- The fat density used is an average and may vary.
- Changes in other body composition parameters are not accounted for.
- Consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
