Can a female diabetic get Smart Lipo?

Diabetes affects your body in ways that increase the risks for infection and poor healing. Lipo essentially creates a large wound beneath the skin of the treatment site which needs to heal. If it doesn't heal or becomes infected, you will have a major potentially disfiguring problem. For weight loss I would recommend bariatric surgery which can be done laparoscopically through tiny incisions for better healing.

A patient with diabetes who has good control of his or her blood sugar for a consistent period of time can be a candidate for SmartLipo just like anyone else. In your case, the location of the insulin pump has to be taken into consideration because it may physically be located in the area of surgery. You may also be a candidate for the procedure to be done under local anesthesia where you are monitored by an anesthesiologist and made very comfortable without having the traditional methods of anesthesia and the attendant recuperation requirements. Having a hanging area of the abdomen may be better taken care of by other means besides SmartLipo so a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon will answer all your questions. 

Patients with well controlled diabetes, hemoglobin A1C is within normal limit, can undergo liposuction procedures once they are clear by their primary care physician. Good luck on your journey.

Yes, diabetics can have liposuction if they are well controlled and cleared by their medical doctor.  Best of luck.

Thank you for your question. Diabetes is not a contraindication for smart lipo. We have to be more careful of planning and monitoring. Pictures will help in your case to determine if you are a right candidate or not. Smart lipo is not a weight loss surgery, it is for contouring. If you believe you need weight loss surgery you should see your physician for evaluation. Again diabetes is not contraindicated for weight loss surgery too. Good luck.
