Which patients are not eligible for plastic liposuction?

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries among men and women who wish to shape their figure to look slimmer. Before undergoing any type of surgery, it is important to know if we are really candidates for it, since we must fulfill certain requirements to avoid any complication. 

If you are interested in having this body surgery, we invite you to keep reading, and we are going to show you which people are not eligible for liposuction. 

A. People with heart conditions are not eligible for liposuction. 

Before undergoing liposuction, it is essential that patients undergo several examinations, including tests to determine cardiac health, because if they suffer from a condition such as a heart murmur, they are automatically discarded as candidates. 

B. It is important not to suffer from obesity before liposuction 

Liposuction is not a surgery to treat obesity, but it is a surgery to remove that excess fat located in a certain area of the body. A person who suffers from obesity cannot be a candidate for liposuction, since this condition can bring serious complications during surgery. 

Furthermore, patients with obesity are more prone to suffer from other conditions such as diabetes or hypertension, which are also diseases that can complicate a surgical procedure. 

C. Lack of elasticity may be an impediment to liposuction.

To be a candidate for liposuction, your skin must have enough elasticity for the procedure to adjust well to the new contour. If you don’t meet this requirement, it will be complicated for you to be suitable for this aesthetic surgery. 

D. You must not have any previous surgery to undergo liposuction.

If you have had any other surgery, it is recommended to wait at least 6 months to have another one. The purpose of waiting this period of time is to avoid any complication. Of course, the plastic surgeon will always make the necessary examinations to know if you are ready for liposuction.
