I'm 16 now but I want to get liposuction in 2 years. I am 119 pounds, height 5'0 with a healthy bmi. I eat right and exercise but sadly I can't lose my stomach fat no matter what I do. Do you think I would be a good candidate for this or a tummy tuck??

Answer: Candidate for Lipo You are most likely a good candidate for liposuction but an exam by a board certified plastic surgeon is needed for the best opinion and recommendations. Most patients are near normal weight and desire permanent contour changes. Patients with average weight, localized fat collections, and healthy elastic skin are the best candidates for liposuction. Obesity, cellulite, or loose, sagging, and inelastic skin are several conditions which may tend towards less desirable results. In fact, these problems may be worsened by liposuction. Unfortunately, many individuals performing liposuction are not trained in other techniques of body contouring and may not have the experience to recognize that a different procedure (such as a tummy tuck) may provide a better result for the patient. Lipo also called Suction Assisted Lipectomy (SAL), may be used in conjunction with other body contouring procedures See below link to article on how to find an experienced plastic surgeon for liposuction.

Answer: Liposuction at 18? I would not recommend a tummy tuck at 18, and perhaps liposuction might be reasonable. What you can try to do now is work out and eat right, and you may thin out a bit. Good luck.
