Can a 14 Year Old Have Liposuction and Transfer the Fat into Her Buttocks?

July 20, 2012

My 14 year old daughter has been asking me for liposuction. I was wondering if she is a candidate for it. Her height is 5'1 1/2 and she weighs 132 pounds. She would like it to be done on her thighs but she has also asked me if she could transfer some of the extra fat in her thighs and insert it into her buttocks.
