Should I exercise before liposuction to ensure I'm in good health?

Asked By:scalpelplease in Beverly Hills, CA

I'm getting tumescent liposuction done in a month on both my lower and upper legs including around my calves and ankles. I'm extremely nervous about complications such as blood clots and embolism etc as I have done too much Googling. Will being in good health help decrease these risks or are these very real and common complications of this procedure? I am 29, weigh 125 pounds and not smoke. Thank you.
