Safety of liposuction with chronic illness
Make no mistake about it - liposuction is real surgery not just a little cosmetic procedure.

Given your health conditions, I will venture to say that the quality of result you would get from liposuction (aka liposcuplture) wouldn't be worth the risk.

Is liposculpture safe for patients with chronic illness
All patients with chronic illness heal more slowly than normal.

Hypertension, as long as it is well-controlled will not prevent you from receiving liposuction safely

Liposculpture for patient with chronic illness
Liposuclpture aka VASER liposuction (UAL) is a real operation with real risks AND benefits. We always consider the patient's disclosed medical history before recommending any cosmetic procedure.

Your Internist and Plastic surgeon should review your case...

Liposculpture and co-morbid diseases or conditions
This most likely depends on the extent of the liposculpture performed and the severity of the medical conditions.
In all likelihood, these procedures could be performed or at least modified (perhaps by breaking them into stages) to lessen the riks.

Liposuction and chronic medical problems
Chronic medical problems generally will increase the risks of any type of surgery and liposculpture is surgery. In order to make it as safe as possible always make certain that your docter is well qualified and considers your entire medical history before proceeding with an elective cosmetic procedure.
