Age is Nothing but a Number

Age is not a major factor whether one should or should not have liposuction. A good candidate should be in good general health, have adequate fat for liposuction, good skin elasticity and have the appropriate Body Mass Index (<30). Dr. ES

Liposuction in >60 y/o

Liposuction is a very safe procedure especially if done under local anesthesia. it is recommended that for patients who are >50 y/o to have them medically cleared for the procedure and to have all medications thoroughly evaluated by the surgeon before the procedure. if youre in good shape and good health, and your doctor feels comfortable that u will be an uneventful recovery, liposuction under local anesthesia should not be a problem.
