As you look into effective ways to achieve your ideal aesthetic, you may consider liposuction. Liposuction is a wonderful tool for body contouring, but it is not the right tool for everyone. There are those who may be ideal candidates, but there are also those who have factors that disqualify them from using liposuction to reach their aesthetic goals.
Whether it be as simple as you are not at a stable weight yet, or as complicated as struggling to quit smoking, there are a number of reasons you may want to postpone pursuing liposuction. Sometimes, you may find another treatment option that can help you reach your ideal look, but other times, there may be steps you need to take on your own before you can revisit a cosmetic procedure to help you look how you want.
Certain medical conditions may be major disqualifiers for liposuction treatment. These medical conditions are often concerns for any type of surgical procedure, but especially elective ones. These medical conditions can include:
These health conditions put you at risk during the procedure, but can also complicate your recovery process. Your health and safety take priority over all other considerations, and at Desert Plastic Surgery, we put that first as we consider the best treatment regimen for you.
Previous liposuction or non-surgical fat removal procedures, such as CoolSculpting, may be a contraindication to liposuction and would depend on your specific situation.
While medical conditions may be outside of your control, some lifestyle choices are within your control that act as disqualifying factors for liposuction. Liposuction is not a tool for weight loss, but rather a tool for body contouring. If you intend to lose weight or become pregnant in the near future, then postponing liposuction is advised if you hope to maintain the results. Smoking and nicotine use are also relative disqualifiers for liposuction treatment, as nicotine constricts the blood vessels and reduces your blood flow, leading to an increased risk during recovery and complications with your healing process.
While liposuction is a wonderful tool for helping you reach your body goals, it is not for everyone. Our team is happy to walk you through what choices are right for you and help you find the treatment regimen that will work with your goals.
