Can a female diabetic get Smart Lipo?

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. 

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.
