Is 22 Too Young for Liposuction?

August 3, 2011
Asked By:Tally in Norwich, CT

I'm 5'6", 149lbs, and 22 years old. I exercise three times a week between cardio and weights, eat right in healthy portion sizes, and stay away from sugars and fats and have been doing so for years. However, I have an apple shape so any fat stores around my middle. I want to get liposuction for a smoother back and defined waistline that exercising hasn't done. Is 22 too young for such a cosmetic procedure? Thank you in advance for your answers.
