I'm 23 yrs old, 5'6, and 230 lbs. Large Volume Lipo? (photo)

Bronzedream2013
At a consultation with a local plastic surgeon, I was informed of something called Large Volume Lipo. To be honest, I am not all that unhappy with my 5"6 230 lb weight, I just don't like my muffin and "fat apron". Im 23,1 child,and 2 years later, the weight loss has stalled. I know lipo is a contouring procedure, and I'm not using it to lose weight, just rid myself of a saggy tummy. In your opinion, is the surgeon suggesting a valid procedure for someond my size? Would be successful?
