Hello. I am a 23 year old woman weighing 220 lbs with no medical issues other than being very overweight. I work out very frequently and I eat healthy. I had my daughter 2 years ago and have been the same weight since. I don't have the time to heal from a traditional liposuction procedure. I would also like to stay under 5k. I know that money shouldnt be an issue, but thats my maximum. Based on my situation, SmartLipo seems like a good idea physically and financially. But is my size an issue?

I think that you should ask your surgeon about exercising after surgery. In my practice after a patient ahs liposuction they can start working out usually within a week to ten days after surgery.
If liposuction is planned in the areas of your laparscopy scars, you should wait until these are completely healed. This is typically three months. If you had a laparoscopic hernia repair especially with mesh, you should wait at least 6 months.
