People with poor wound healing ability or varicose veins in the lower limbs are generally not suitable candidates for leg liposuction. Additionally, individuals under the age of 18 should not undergo this procedure, as it may negatively affect their health. Leg liposuction involves using medical devices to remove excess fat from the legs, and after recovery, it can effectively improve leg obesity. This procedure is suitable for individuals who are in good overall health.
