Liposuction for Multiple Areas?

Looking into neck, arms, inner thighs, upper and lower abdominal Liposuction. Can they perform all of these at one time?

I'm 24 and in good overall health. These area areas I have not been able to see weight loss with diet and exercise.

Liposuction of multiple sites
