I am 23 (soon to be 24 this month) 6'0" 307lbs (BMI42) So far, dieting and excerise doesn't seem to work for me and I've honestly thought of lipo. Would that be a good choice or would a different diet and excerise be a better choice?

Answer: Weight loss Dear RockStar457, liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. Generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a surgery, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Should I consider lipo or a new diet and excerise? With BMI over 40 - it is best to consider a lifestyle change - or consider a bariatric surgery. Liposuction is not a weight loss operation. Once you arrive at the ideal weight - then it's a good idea to consult re/ Body Contouring procedures
