I am a 22 year old female, 5’4 and about 164lbs. I’ve never had any kids, nor have I ever been “significantly” overweight. I am currently on a weight loss journey from being 177 pounds (my heaviest weight ever), and have been eating in a calorie deficit, as well as exercising at least 3x a week for the last 6months. Unfortunately I am not seeing the progress I would like in my stomach, I have never been able to have a flat stomach even at my lowest weights. I have always had fat there, especially on the bottom half of my stomach that gives me an “apron belly”. The more weight I gained the bigger and lumpier it got and harder it’s been to lose. I did do another weightloss journey a couple years ago where I was able to get to 150lbs (my ideal weight) and while my stomach did shrink, it still had a pudge and excessive fat still on my mons pubis. I want to know if I am a good candidate for liposuction on my abdomen as well as the mons pubis?
