Hello and  thank you for your question. I would see a specialist and have the liver issue looked into prior to having liposuction. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice. Best,

You need to clarify this with your board certified plastic surgeon as this will depend upon degree of elevation and potential causes. The health of your liver will need to be assessed before surgery is considered. Non-surgical solutions such as diets, exercise and changing lifestyle are recommended as first priority before considering other options for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).  If you are otherwise healthy with a BMI close to 30, a slightly elevated cholesterol may not present much of an issue in regard to moving forward.

Dear Nessamarq12,
liver enzyme elevation can indicate severe heath problem so it might be helpful to discuss it with your doctor. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Please talk to your hepatologist to get clearance for plastic surgery and then I suggest you to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best options for your goals.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

Elevated liver enzymes can affect how your body heals. The cause of why they are elevated can vary. Sometimes, it is as simple as alcohol consumption in the days prior to the lab draw. Other times it can be a sign of underlying liver disease. It is best to figure all of this out before undergoing surgery.

Thanks for writing,This is something that should be addressed before surgery. Lots of things can cause this elevation and your internal medicine doctor can help you understand why. The other issue is anesthesia and your liver. The liver metabolizes most of the anesthetic agents, it is important that the liver is normal and functioning well. See your internal medicine doctor for surgical clearance. Good luckStephen M. Davis, MD, FACS
