Liposuction for front and back stomach rolls?

I am 6 ft tall, I weigh about 280 lbs, and I'm 26 years old, female. All my weight goes directly to my stomach. I am getting married so I wanted to have Liposuction to remove the extra rolls in the front and back. Is that possible? I've tried to lose weight before. I'm at my wits end and I just want the surgery at this point. Please help!

A: Liposuction is NOT a Quick Fix; Consider Bariatric Surgery

Michael C. Pickart, MD

Find a bariatric surgeon, not a plastic surgeon. 6-feet-tall women should weigh no more than 184 lbs.  At 280 lbs., you are 96 lbs. over weight.  This excess weight not only causes unsightly "rolls," but also puts you at risk for high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, osteoarthritis, and... more

A: IT is important and critical for you to lose weight not liposuction

Otto Joseph Placik, MD

Technically at 6 feet your ideal weight is should be around 165 lbs. At your weight, you are over 100lbs above your ideal weight and risk heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, etc.  You may want to consider options for minimally invasive bariatric surgery.
