This study of suction assisted lipoplasty of 100 cases was undertaken to estimate the fluid and blood loss during the procedure using pre and postoperative hematocrit values as guidelines for fluid and blood loss. The regimen for fluid and blood replacement was stated according to the volume aspirated and to the operative sites involved in the procedure which augmented fluid and to avoid major complications in such patients
