I am trying to have the procedure done and wanted to know the parameters.
Answer: Vaser Liposuction In my practice, we prefer that the HbA1c should be below 7 before undergoing liposuction. If it is above 7, then we encourage our patients to visit their primary care physician who may adjust the medication regimen to obtain better glycemic control.

Answer: A1C and BMI A1C is a measure of your diabetes control. If too high your risk of infection and healing post procedure will not be optimal and lend you to not be a great lipo candidate. BMI in general, you do not want to be obese which is indexed as being >30. If you carry that much adipose tissue you should lose some weight. Liposuction does remove fat but is meant to remove stubborn fat areas to help unmask underlying anatomy.

Answer: Hemoglobin A1C is a test for diabetes Hemoglobin A1C is a test used to diagnose diabetes and to monitor how well it is being controlled. Diabetics on insulin are at very high risk for infections and are not good candidates for lipo by any technique. Diabetics on pills or diet control are at lower risk than insulin diabetics, but need to have adequate A1C levels prior to surgery to ensure a safe procedure. BMI isn't really a contraindication to any type of lipo, but if you are very obese, lipo won't do much for your appearance.

Answer: BMI and A1C levels prior to liposuction Hi there. The closer to normal the A1C the better for purposes of healing faster. If slightly abnormal, it should not be a problem for vaser liposuction. As for BMI, there is really no limit on this value for liposuction. Liposuction is a body sculpting procedure and the more reasonably sized the area is, the better the results will be in general.
