Can a diabetic do laser lipo?

Liposuction is an excellent procedure for body contouring. Diabetics can safely undergo liposuction as long as the diabetes is controlled with medications and/or lifestyle. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thanks for the question, diabetes can effect every cell in your body thats why all diabetics are at increased risks for complications such as wound healing problems, well controlled diabetics can undergo procedures such as liposuction with minimal excess risk if they are well controlled

Liposuction is not for weight loss and if you are a controlled diabetic you can have liposuction.  I suggest a little bit of weight loss and then use the liposuction for contouring.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It is possible for a diabetic patient to have any kind of liposuction, including laser lipo, it their diabetes is under good control and they are in generally good health.  As with any surgery, there are risks with laser lipo which can include infection, bleeding, seroma (fluid) formation, etc.  Check with your primary physician and your plastic surgeon for risks and recommendations in your case.  Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
