Fat weighs...: ...A little less than the same amount of water. 4 liters of pure fat would weigh about 7.5 pounds. However, immediately after surgery, you may not notice this weight difference due to water retention and swelling.

Liposuction volume: The amount removed usually include fluid and fat. The percentage of fluid versus fat will determine the amount of fat removed. 500cc of fat is approximately one pound.

~9lbs if pure fat: Which is highly unlikely. In reality this represents somewhere closer to 5-6 pounds because it is more likely that about 60% of the volume removed represents actual fat.

Around 5 pounds: Depending on the type of liposuction performed and the region of the body changes this amount. But i would say 5-6 pounds.

8.8/6.6pounds of fat: As 2.2pounds equals a kilogram therefore 4 litres would equate to 8.8pounds. Majority of times though the fat content of the lipoaspirate is 65-75% depending on the pre-aspirate amount injected hence a more realistic upper limit number would be 6.6pounds of fat removed.
