We prove that the lowest upper bound for the number of limit cycles of small nonconservative polynomial deformations of degree n of the Hamiltonian vector field is n − 1.

A consequence is that the lowest upper bound for the number of limit cycles of generic n-parameter deformations of cusps is n − 1.
