Prior to liposuction are there any tests your surgeon will require to assess your health? E.g blood tests, a general checkup?

Asked By:scalpelplease in Beverly Hills, CA

I am wanting to have liposuction in November. I am travelling from Australia to the USA and it is difficult to organise the procedure from abroad. I am wondering HOW my surgeon will determine I am a fit candidate for the procedure and what measures I will need to take, if any, to prepare me for liposuction. Thank you in advance.
