If : If you are willing to take the risks and the plastic surgeon finds you a low risk patient, why not. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Consultation: You will require a full consultation to determine if the procedure is right for you. You will require clearance with your primary care physician to determine if the procedure is safe for you.

Yes: You can have liposuction, laser or not if your kidney function and diabetes are well controlled. You will need to get a medical clearance prior to liposuction by your internist.

Possibly.: Patients with medical “problems” are sometimes able to undergo elective plastic surgical procedures. These patients should have the medical conditions under good control; evaluation by their family practitioners/ internist is important prior to proceeding. This pre-operative “clearance” will provide your plastic surgeon with helpful information. Best wishes.
