A person needs to be within 30 percent of the ideal weight before undergoing the surgery

A non-smoker
Must have firm and elastic skin
Those with health issues around blood flow, a weakened immune system, diabetes, or heart disease are not recommended to have liposuction. Additionally, be prepared for alcohol and diet restrictions prior to the operation.
