Provided all physical criteria are met for liposuction candidacy, liposuction can technically be performed on anyone 15 – 78 years old. However, skin elasticity is a primary consideration when performing liposuction. As one’s age advances, skin elasticity gets weaker and weaker. If our cosmetic surgeon feels the skin’s elasticity is too weak to mold to smaller contours following liposuction, he may recommend another procedure to help you reach your cosmetic goals.
