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

Thank you for your question. You should definitely get this disease under better control (A1C closer to 6-7 range, or the goal set by your physician). You will be at increased risk of infection and other wound complications at your current state. Please make this a priority in your life over the next 6 months. Best wishes.

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.

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.
