Where does SAL work best and who is a good candidate?
The best candidates are patients who are in good health and have localized areas of fat such as the thighs, waist, abdomen, flanks, hips, upper arms and under the chin. It is not used for weight reduction or to improve obesity. Diabetics, patients with heart disease, heavy smokers or patients requiring anti-inflammatory medication or regular aspirin are high risk and should not undergo this surgery.
