Answer: Diabetes and Smart Lipo Hello and thank you for your question: Diabetes is one of the contraindications for liposuction. It increases the risks of infection and poor healing. I can say though that in young very well controlled diabetics Smart Lipo can be done. There is a need for very tight follow up from the PCP and the doctor who performed the procedure. Good luck, Oxana Popescu MD
