Are you a Candidate for Liposuction?

Age has very little to do with Liposuction. It works just as well with older patients as it does with younger patients. An ideal candidate is someone who is near his or her body weight, exercises regularly, has good skin elasticity (the ability of the skin to heal), and eats reasonably. Such a person may have an area on their body that exercise and dieting has been unable to reduce. Such a localized pocket of fat is perfect for Liposuction.

Of all Liposuction patients:

44% are between ages of 35 - 40

25% are between the ages of 19 - 34

23% are between the ages of 51- 64

5% are 65 years or older

3% are 18 years or younger.

It is important to know that Liposuction is not a cure for obesity. There is a limit of fat tissue that can be removed safely from the human body. If you suffer from obesity, Liposuction can actually be detrimental to your appearance. If a portion of fat is removed from your body, you can have an unbalanced or unnatural appearance.

Liposuction works best if you are at a stable weight. The results will last longer too.
