If my cholesterol level is slightly elevated can I still have liposuction (laser lipo) done?

June 2, 2017
Asked By:aobcd in Rochester, MI

I have been planning on getting lipo for a some time now and I'm probably going to be getting it done within a month or so. I recently got my blood tests done and they said my cholesterol level was slightly high. I do plan on changing my diet immediately and making sure I get it back to normal, but will it be a potential risk factor in getting lipo? Just to clarify I am getting lipo to look better and feel better about my body not to lower my cholesterol, I just found out about my results.
