I am only 19 but have considering liposuction surgery for years. In the last three years I have gained 80lb!! As life goes on I have been really unhappy with my body. I have tried everything to lose it but can't seem to get it off!! I plan on having children in the far future and just wanted to know if it would be okay to get liposuction now at 19 and have kids later down the road.

Answer: Appropriate age for liposuction Liposuction is a shaping procedure and not a weight loss alternative. A BMI of <30 is ideal. Any recent weight gains should be investigated by your primary care physician and you need to reach a stable and appropriate weight before undergoing liposuction.

Answer: Is it safe for 19 year olds to get a liposuction? Ultimately you will require an in house consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to be assessed and to determine what procedure is best suited for you to give you the results you are looking for. Liposuction is not a form of weight loss but is more of a sculpting tool and is safe and effective for patients who have excess fat in certain areas. The ideal candidate should have realistic expectations of what this procedure will do for them.
