No!

 You need to loose that weight by dieting , lap band, etc. and then you may be a candidate for small areas of liposuction combined with skin excision.

Liposuction

Liposuction is not a weight loss operation, it is for body contouring. Patients should not be too overweight as there are risks of complications and results are less than good. You might consult with a plastic surgeon in your area just to get an idea of what you would need to do to be considered a candidate for this type of surgery.
