Why might I have to wait to schedule liposuction?

In some cases it takes time for a patient’s body to be ready for surgery—for example, if you have another medical issue including another surgical procedure or an illness, we might wait to schedule surgery. Your health and safety are our top priorities, so we schedule surgeries when they’re best for our patients. Also, if you become pregnant or are expecting to become pregnant, your doctor might advise you to wait to have liposuction until after you give birth.
