Liposuction limit set at 5 liters
The Ministry of Health has issued a decision outlining strict regulations for liposuction procedures, including a maximum allowable amount of removal—five liters or 8% of the patient's weight. It emphasized that this procedure is not intended for weight loss but is strictly for cosmetic purposes. Patients must be hospitalized for 24 hours if the removed amount exceeds the specified limit. All medical and psychological data must be documented prior to the procedure to ensure patient safety. Additionally, procedures are prohibited for patients with a body mass index (BMI) over 35. The regulations also require that physicians possess appropriate training experience, and a certified psychological assessment report, not older than three months, must be available to evaluate the patient's mental state.
