Am i a good candidate? Primarily most people are good candidates. A complete medical history is taken at the consultation appointment to determine if there are any health issues that would prevent you from being a candidate. Liposuction also has positive health benefits. Will I Be Put to sleep? No, it is done under tumescent anesthesia; the beauty of it is the patient is fully awake with no need to be asleep. They do not feel any pain and this will lower problems associated with anesthesia as well as facilitate speedy recovery.
