Only a consultation will be able to determine if patients are suitable for a combined liposuction/gland removal procedure, which will partly be defined by the quality of the elasticity of the skin. The best patients for liposuction are those individuals who are active and healthy, of average or near average weight (within 12-15% of their ideal weight), and have reasonably good skin tone and elasticity.Age by itself is not a significant factor and in fact patients from age 16 -65 have benefited from liposuction.
