People who exercise daily and follow healthy diet are the right candidates for liposuction procedure. Check with the doctor before undergoing liposuction procedure if you have any internal health problems like diabetes and etc.

  • What care I have to take before the surgery?

You should quit smoking before the surgery. If you are on any medication then do discuss with your surgeon about it before the surgery itself because certain medications cause bleeding issues. Hence, make sure that you tell everything in detail to your surgeon about your health condition before surgery to stay safe. Don’t eat anything 6 to 12 hours before the surgery.

Ask your surgeon which liposuction techniques they use. Some of the famous liposuction techniques include ultrasound, laser and tumescent.
