No: Liposuction is just to contour your body and smooth out localized fat bulges. It is does not treat diabetes or high blood pressure. If you are overweight, obese or morbidly obese, and have hypertension or type ii diabetes, you may improve your condition by normalizing your weight.

Question 2

is vision connected to blood pressure -- i.e. if i lower my blood pressure, might my vision improve ?

Accepted Answer

Not usually, unless: Your vision is only affected by extremely high blood pressure, when the effects of high BP affect the retinal vasculature ;/or optic nerve (malignant hypertension). Furthermore retinal blood vessels can be blocked causing loss of vision. Too low of BP usually causes people to feel faint ; pass out. Too low of BP has been thought to contribute to worsening of optic nerve blood flow. Goal bp: 115/70.

Question 3
