Hi I'm interested in getting high volume liposuction.I weigh 345 down from 360 im in the process of losing weight naturally the problem is Im not losing belly fat.I want the lipo to help remove fat specifically from my belly and back areas for a better shape and more balanced proportions while I'm losing weight kinda like a jump start. Weight loss is not my expectation. I want the lipo only to help with my problem areas I don't expect to leave looking like beyonce. Just want some of It gone .
