I appreciate your concerns, however if you are a candidate for liposuction, being in a wheelchair is not a contraindication. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to explore the best options for you. Good luck.

If you are in good health with a BMI of 30 or below, being confined to a wheelchair should not prevent you from having lipo of your abdomen.

Dear Mimi904, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.

Having restrictions to walking or being wheelchair-bound is not a contraindication to having liposuction. Whether it makes sense to have liposuction or not may be another question. There may be lots of underlying factors that listed to be taken into consideration. I suggest talking to your primary care doctor and scheduling a few consultations for local board certified plastic surgeons in your area. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
