Can I Have Lipo Done With Abnormal Thyroid Level?
I am a 30year old female, 150 lbs and I have thyroid disease. I have been taking my medication (i take Synthroid tab 25mcg) since the beginning of last year. I am considering going to sleek medspa to get a smart lipo done. Do you think i am a good candidate.

Hi, I assume you are doing it for cosmetic purposes. Since low thyroid levels cause obesity, if you undergo a lipo suction without correcting thyroid, you may not be able to maintain the low fat level and you may gain fat again.
Hence, liposuction after thyroid level correction would be better.
