Are you a good candidate for a body liposuction procedure?
We wish everyone were able to receive body liposuction if they need it but not everyone is a good candidate. It is important to note that liposuction is not a good alternative to dieting and exercise. To be considered aa good candidate for liposuction, one should be:
- At least 18 years old
- Overall good general health
- Have tried a diet and exercise regime in the pase and find that the last 10 or 15 pounds tend to stick in certain pockets on the body.
Infection, heart or circulation problems or diabetes usually will usually prevent one’s eligibility for the procedure.
It should be noted in older people whose skin is less elastic, it does not tighten as easily to new shape. In such cases, another procedure known as a tummy tuck may be added to the liposuction.
