Who is a good candidate for Body Sculpting?
The ideal candidate for this procedure is someone who is healthy and has no medical problems. The individual, preferably, is on no prescription medications. He or she has no allergies. They only have localized areas of fat that have been resisitant to change with adequate exercise and diet. Average age range would be 30-65.
A good candidate would have similar attributes as the ideal candidate, but may fall out of the ideal range due to the presence of mild medical problems, those that are not life threatening and do not interfere with their normal activities. Only a physician can determine what these conditions are that will allow for this elective procedure to be performed. These candidates may be on prescription medications; these must also be assessed to ensure safety of the procedure or for the potential need to limit the amount of areas to be treated at one time. These individuals may have greater areas of fat to be removed. Their age range may fall outside the range quoted above. It is important that an interested candidate seek the opinion of one or more physicians before deciding the safety of the procedure.
