A lot: You could probably go as much as you can afford but i wouldn't recommend it. There are always risks when doing procedures. You increase your chances of a bad outcome the more you do big procedures. Be happy with the way you are and only get fine tuning when you really think you need it.

No limits: As many times as needed to get the result you want. However with each time, you have a risk of infection, bleeding and irregularities. If you need too many session, it may mean that the indication may not be right.

Why do you ask?: If you have a stable weight and maintain it after liposuction, you are not likely to require repeat treatments. Liposuction is meant for contouring the body, not removing weight. On the other hand, as long as there is fat, and you are healthy, the procedure can be repeated. Each operation must be individually evaluated.

Depends: You can have liposuction done to many parts of your body and it's safest to do it separate sessions. You don't want to do too much at one time. If someone is very obese, they may need more than liposuction session in one area. If you are healthy with not medical conditions then it's safe especially if done under local tumescent anesthesia (more dangerous under general).

Best to be done once: Liposuction can be performed many times, however the best result is obtained when it is done once under ideal circumstances in the right candidate.

It is possible to undergo liposuction surgery multiple times over the course of your lifetime. However, this could possibly lead to a number of aesthetic concerns on your skin due to the continued presence of scar tissue, together with a disproportionate distribution of body fat.
