Although Liposuction is a simple concept to grasp and the most performed Cosmetic Surgery in the United States, not everyone is an ideal candidate for the procedure. A good candidate for Liposuction can be defined as someone who:
• Is in Good Health
• Has a realistic expectation of what can be accomplished
• Has one or many localized areas of fat
• Is close to their desired weight (within 20 –30%)
• Has good skin tone or elasticity
• Does not have sagging skin
• Is not looking for Liposuction to cure obesity
The key element is that you have realistic expectation and understand that Liposuction is not a cure for obesity. Being close to your ideal weight and having localized pockets of fat is important to the success of your Liposuction surgery. If your skin is not elastic in nature, you may have a slight draping or wrinkled appearance following your Liposuction procedure. While it is possible to undergo Liposuction at almost any age, you will obtain the best results if your skin still has enough elasticity to achieve a smooth contour following fat removal.
Although these are all characteristics of Liposuction, a person need not exhibit all of these items in order to be a candidate for the procedure. The only way to know for sure if you are a candidate is to visit a Board-Certified Liposuction Surgeon to determine if Liposuction is right for you.
