Is liposuction safe at 35, especially with mild hypertension?

Question

I’m 35 years old and considering liposuction for body contouring. Are there any age-related risks or health concerns I should know about before going ahead with this surgery? How safe is it for someone with mild lifestyle-related conditions like hypertension?

Dr. Prateek Thakur · Accepted Answer

Liposuction is generally safe for healthy adults, including those in their 30s and 40s. Age alone isn’t a major risk factor, but overall health matters. Patients with mild conditions like controlled hypertension, diabetes, or obesity can often undergo liposuction safely if their condition is well-managed. 
Before surgery, your doctor will evaluate your medical history, medications, and lab results to ensure you’re fit for anesthesia and the procedure. Good general health and adherence to pre- and post-operative instructions help minimize risks and support smooth recovery.
