Type 2 diabetes and hypothyroidism are not contraindications to liposuction of any type. Be sure to bring your complete medical history to your consultation, and your plastic surgeon will explain if you should anticipate any unusual risks from these conditions.

YES. If both conditions are medically well controlled.
