Would my health issues prevent me from having liposuction on my tummy?

Jody.  As long as your medical conditions are well-controlled and your medical doctor will clear you for surgery, you should be able to undergo liposuction of your abdomen. Of course your BMI should be 30 or less for best results and safety reasons. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Dear jodygrandy,as long a your conditions are well controlled and you get a clearance from your doctors, you might be a candidate for a surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD
