Thank you for submitting your question. Patient safety is the first thing to consider and it is always best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. You will likely need to obtain a medical clearance from your cardiologist and make sure that your surgeon and cardiologist communicate directly to determine the safety of liposuction on you. Make sure that your procedure is performed in an accredited facility by a board-certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes for a safe and fantastic result.
