HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

First of all I need to know why are you getting Liposuction done. Is it for cosmetic purpose or for weight reduction. Because if it is due to weight reduction I don't think Liposuction is a good idea as you will regain weight if you don't do exercise .

As of safety of liposuction is concerned it is quite a safe procedure even in heart patients but I would not recommend if your heart is extremely weak . The strength of the heart can be assessed by 2D Echo scan . But a mild heart problem is not a contraindication for Liposuction.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
