Who is not suitable for leg liposuction surgery
Disease description:
My legs are particularly thick, making it unflattering to wear pants. I'm considering leg liposuction, but I've heard this procedure has contraindications. Could you please advise who should not undergo this surgery?

Dr. Li Fengyong
Liposuction surgery on the legs is generally not suitable for individuals under the age of 18. It is also not recommended for patients with loose skin, as it may worsen the degree of skin laxity. Additionally, individuals with chronic conditions such as hypertension or heart disease should avoid leg liposuction, since the use of anesthetics during the procedure may trigger an acute episode of their condition.
