What are the characteristics of a good candidate for liposuction?
Liposuction is most effective for people with good skin tone and elasticity. Various factors will affect the outcome of liposuction and need to be assessed: skin elasticity, diet, exercise, smoking habits, alcohol consumption, heredity, and physical condition. If a patient gains weight post-procedure, the fat will be deposited in an untreated location. It is also important to set realistic expectations and be in good psychological health.
