My A1C is high above 9 and below 11.9. Am I a good candidate for smart lipo?

A single blood test does not make you diabetic, but I suspect you have a known medical condition otherwise you wouldn't be fishing for the answer you wish you would hear. You cannot have lipo with diabetes or with an abnormal blood test of unknown significance. The only diabetics who are acceptable for lipo have diet controlled diabetes (type 2) after a full medical evaluation.

Thanks for your question because, unfortunately, diabetes is a common malady for many people. Your overall health and control of blood sugar comes first and elective procedures can be performed once you have achieved that. Complications such as infection, although very rare, are increased in cases of poorly managed diabetes. In addition, this is an issue in the long term life expectancy as well as quality of life that should be discussed with your primary care physician. Good luck and seek a qualified plastic surgeon after you have this sorted out and your A1C lowered. 

Standard liposuction shouldn't be affected by diabetic disease.  If you add skin cutting like breast lifting, tummy tuck etc then you are more predisposed to infections and other complications if the diabetes is not under control.  Please see an expert for evaluation. I personally like VASER hi definition more than smart lipo anymore.  Best, Dr. Emer.
