My Mom is 84, but is in good health. No cardiac issues, just arthritis. She wants to have her abdominal area reduced. Is she a viable candidate for liposuction?

Answer: Liposuction and Age This comes up often in our practice. If someone is in good health, I don't typically restrict on age -- especially if in good health -- since we do all our liposuction under tumescent anesthesia. However, someone of that age I typically try to assess their desires and consider if there are other options. If they have any health issues, the answer would be no. I hope this helped. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Lipo If you are healthy it can be done. I would be concerned with skin tone, most older patients have skin laxity that does not do well with lipo.
