Answer: Plastic Surgery at Age 16?
Dear selina16,
I am sorry to hear about your concerns about your weight. Obesity is an important issue that can affect your long-term health and should be addressed. I would suggest seeing a weight loss specialist to see if they can help you change your dietary and exercise habits to help you lose weight. Unfortunately, plastic surgery including liposuction is not a treatment for weight loss. In extreme circumstances, a bariatric operation such as Lap Band may be worth considering, but it much more advisable to lose the weight on your own.
Warmest wishes,
