Who is an ideal candidate for liposuction?
The best candidates for liposuction are healthy people with reasonably normal weight who realize that they cannot diet or exercise off the area that they are concerned with, and have an area of fat deposit that is out of proportion to other areas. These are usually inherited or personal fat distribution areas.
In general, there is no “perfect” candidate for liposuction, though the procedure is a good fit for many people. First and foremost, you need to be in good heath and have reasonable expectations about what the procedure can achieve based on your body type and needs. Improvement – oftentimes dramatic – is possible. Perfection is not. In most cases, good candidates are within their normal weight and have elastic skin tone. People from almost all walks of life and in a wide age range have chosen this procedure.
