Large-volume liposuction in Colorado- anyone know of any doctors that do this?

Question

I live in Colorado and I have a large, pendulous abdomen that I can't get rid of. It was just as big when I was about 60 lbs lighter, and bigger now. I just want it gone. I know large-volume liposuction, especially for obesity, is unconventional and risky, but I have made my decision and am well aware of the risks. Does anyone know of any providers in Colorado that would perform a surgery like this? Please only comment if you know of someone (no offense to anyone lol!).

If you have large volume you will need liposuction + skin removal.  I suggest obalon balloon to lose 20-40 lbs before then consider the fat + skin removal.  Pictures and consult are necessary to see what exactly you need and is safe for you.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear jashore,finding the right Dr. is extremely challenging especially with the number of online platforms and resources available. There a lot of great Dr's available. Definitely check to make sure your choice specializes in the procedure you want and spend the time to read through patient testimonials. 
You can always pick up the phone and call around also, find an office you feel comfortable with and set up a few consultations. Daniel Barrett, MD

Dear Jashore,There are a few options including liposuction to reduce the fullness of the abdominal tissue, surgical removal of the tissue (panniculectomy), and even bariatric surgery which could help you to loose weight. Doing excessively large volumes in liposuction is harder on your body and it might be safer to do this in a hospital setting (which I do). If just treating the abdominal area rather than multiple areas on your body it is certainly going to be less risky. When it comes to surgery your BMI is also important.There are a lot of factors that need to be considered that need to be evaluated in person. Your medical history, weight, previous surgeries, and individual anatomy will all play a role in deciding what is safest for you and whether the desired outcome can be achieved. There are also things you might be able to do to improve your candidacy as a patient before surgery as well.Best of luck,
