Can I get liposuction on my legs with a BMI of 39? I’m 24 yo and have never gotten pregnant, my only medical problem is Asthma.

BMI is but one measure.  Distribution of fat and overall health as well as goals all factor into this decision.  Your BMI should be under 35 to lower the risks of complications during and after surgery and to insure maximum results. Combining an exercise program with your diet would lead to faster results.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Usually, patients are advised to have a stable BMI of 30 or less, to make sure there is lesser risk of complications and better symmetry post op. However, that is on a case to case basis.Based on the photo, liposuction of the thighs, flanks and back may greatly improve the contours of your body and would give you the desired results. The best course of action would be to schedule an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person examination and a detailed discussion of your surgical results.
