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
