- excess fat deposits in your thighs, knees, ankles, and calves

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction
An ideal candidate for liposuction procedure should have realistic expectations of the procedure and understand that while it may improve your appearance, it won’t replace the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine. Those who are going through a weight loss program are generally advised to be close to their ideal weight before considering liposuction. Those who have diabetes or conditions that effect blood circulation and ability to heal are advised to consult their primary doctor to help optimize their general health.
