Would I be a good candidate for knee, calf, and ankle liposuction?

sergirl12Jun 20, 2016
I live in Michigan. I am 5'7 and weigh about 135. My lower legs have always bothered me and I was wondering if liposuction could help their appearance? My knees really bother me as well as the size and shape of my lower legs.
