Hi, thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic.com!
I'm Dr. Elton Halili, General & Family Physician.
I'll explain about your concern.
- Liposuction isn't a contraindication for achondroplasia.
- How old is Jennifer? She will be a good candidate for liposuction if she's 18 years old or more.
- Does she suffer from sever diseases: diabetes, infection or heart diseases? If yes liposuction should be consulted carefully with the surgeon.
- Anyway like other surgical procedures, liposuction needs an evaluation of the patient before.
Take care! Ask me for more!
