Answer: Liposuction for diabetics. Hello, and thank you for this question. As stated in the previous surgeons response I do not believe well controlled diabetes would be a contraindication to liposuction. I would recommend a general medical clearance prior to any cosmetic procedures. Although we have an accredited outpatient surgical facility staff staffed with board certified anesthesiologist, I believe any patient that has diabetes and takes insulin should be done in either a hospital or an outpatient surgical setting which can specifically monitor the glucose levels before during and after the procedure. Can all be discussed with a qualified experienced board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Diabetes and Liposuction Diabetes is not an absolute contraindication for Liposuction. However like many procedures there is an increased risk for infection if the diabetes is not under good control. We usually ask for a medical clearance from your internist. We also obtain hemoglobin A-1 C level which is a good indicator of diabetes control. We recommend that you only consider liposuction If you are near your optimal BMI.

Answer: Well controlled diabetics can undergo liposuction Thank you for the question. Diabetes is not a contraindication to surgery unless the patient is poorly controlled because this can lead to complications. A medical clearance is required before liposuction. All the best,Dr. Khuthaila
