Can a 17 Year Old Girl Have Liposuction?

mdk in Texas
My 17 year old daughter is perfectly proportioned from the waist up (plus her buttocks); however her entire life she has had large thighs to the point she consistently has chafing between them. She works out 4+ days a week and eats healthy (or as healthy as a teenager ever eats), but her thighs never diminish in size. She cries herself to sleep most nights and gets so depressed when shopping for clothes that she won't leave her room. Is she too young to consider lipo on thigh?
