Hello Everyone, I'm a young woman of 20-something and I want to get liposuction however I'm still overweight. I read that it is better to lose all the weight before going though with this surgery. I'm 5.2/158 cm and 176lbs/80kg, I'm planning to get a breast lift and get fillers in my hippies as well, do you think I should wait and lose all the excess weight or get the surgery and lose the weight afterwards ? Thank you !
