Answer: Liposuction in a teenager with high BMI. I personally don't think liposuction is a place to start. For health reasons you should begin a weight reduction regimen. Surgery is available but this is something that should be used as a last resort.

Answer: Liposuction in Young Age Yes you can have liopsuction with consent but based on your post, i think weight loss is more appropriate as liposuction is not a weight loss tool and should be used for contouring/shaping genetic areas of disproportion. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Liposuction at age 14 There are many options you may want to consider before surgical intervention. Managing your weight is challenging at any age. I would not use liposuction as a means to lose weight. I would recommend patients to enter a medical weight management program if they had weight loss goals. We offer a weight management program for our patients and set and reach realistic goals together prior to any surgical intervention. I would recommend asking your pediatrician for a referral to a physician who is certified in obesity medicine.

Answer: Liposuction age 14 with consent Thanks for your question. Based on the information you've provided, a comprehensive weight loss program might be the best answer to reach your goals. It's important to consider that liposuction is not a weight loss procedure and is most effective in the long term in individuals who are at or near their ideal body weight and in those committed to a healthy lifestyle. At age 14, you're also still in the process of significant maturation and growth. I would recommend seeing your pediatrician and expressing your concerns. He or she should help guide you towards your goals or refer you to a specialist who can. Wishing you success, Dr. Yoo

Answer: Can a 14 year old have liposuction with parental consent? I wish I could tell you that liposuction would provide weight loss help for you, however, it will not. If you were to find a plastic surgeon and gain the parental consent you legally need to have a surgical procedure, it would not yield what you are ultimately after (weight loss and better shape). It would yield a redistribution of fat cells in abnormal locations that would be even more diet resistant in the end. I also agree that you should schedule a visit to meet with your pediatrician or primary care physician to establish healthy living habits to help with your weight loss goals.Dr. Steve Byrd
