Who is a good candidate for liposuction?
A good candidate for liposuction is a person who is healthy, is at ideal or modestly overweight, and has localized areas of protruding fat that don’t respond well to dieting or exercise. Skin elasticity and firmness (usually better in the under 45 age group) will allow for better skin “shrinkage” and a smoother result. Realistic expectations are important in your ultimate satisfaction with your procedure.
Typically, a good candidate for liposuction has a few areas that have fat accumulation that has been unaffected by diet or exercise. A person considering liposuction should be in good health and be of normal weight. The ideal candidate for liposuction will have realistic expectations and understand that the liposuction procedure does not achieve perfection. A person should not undergo liposuction if they have any serious medical concerns or are excessively overweight.
