Posted under Liposuction q&a

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.

I am 5’5 and weigh 247 (yes, pretty big) and are really shy about my legs, I have never in my life had slim legs, it seems that every time I gain weight, it just goes straight to my legs, I even have cankles. But anyway, can I get liposuction on my legs? Or am I not a candidate for it? okay to have one? Ultrasonic Cavitation? Can I see results pretty drastically? Any suggestions? I’m currently on a diet but I would like faster results! Thanks
