Liposuction: Risk with Age

Is liposuction riskier as you grow older?

Surgery is safe regardless of age depending upon your overall health.  A person who is healthy with no significant cardiorespiratory disease can expect a very safe procedure certainly to the age of 70 years old.  Even patients who do have mild cardiorespiratory disease can undergo liposuction but this is usually done in a hospital setting and is also considered very safe.
