Im 18 Should I Get Liposuction?

If you are having issues losing weight, you may want to consult with a personal trainer to help you develop an effective exercise plan. You may also be a good candidate for bariatric surgery, so consider meeting with a reputable weight loss surgeon in your area to help you decide. After you have reached a healthy weight, liposuction can be a great way to eliminate fat that may linger in specific areas and does not respond to diet and exercise. After having any kind of weight loss or body contouring procedure, you’ll have to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen to keep your results looking great. Good luck to you!

    At that height and weight with a stubborn area, liposuction is probably the reasonable choice, but an exam would be necessary to confirm.  Find the plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

AT 5'8 and 150 lbs, your BMI is 23.5 which is normal.  You are an excellent candidate, since you are young, your skin had good elasticity and will recoil nicely.  Liposuction is effective for localized fat which are describing.  Unfortunately, you have not provided any photographs but you should be a good candidate for liposuction.
