Is it safe for 19 year olds to get a liposuction?

August 19, 2015
Asked By:madison_jane in Decatur, IL

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.
