I weigh 221 lbs and I'm 13 years old. Can I get liposuction with my mom's permission?

Thank you for your question.  As difficult as weight loss can be, your best option is to attempt a lifestyle change.  A diet comprised of healthy meats, vegetables and fruit, combined with a daily exercise regimen will help you shed those unwanted pounds and, at your young age, your skin should be able to compensate well. Your money would be better spent with a nutritionalist and trainer who can supply you information that will help you for the rest of your life.  Liposuction is not permanent after all. It may reduce the amount of fat in your body, but the fat that remains will continue to enlarge or shrink based on your diet and exercise level.

Krystal....thanks for your question and I am sorry you are struggling with your weight. At 13 years old, you are much too young to be considering cosmetic surgery for your appearance. Furthermore, liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, it is a contouring procedure meant to address certain problem areas, not overall excess weight.I would advise that instead of talking to your mother about consenting for cosmetic surgery, you discuss with her your concerns about your weight and ask her if she would consider getting you involved in a nutrition and/or weight loss program that includes elements of diet and exercise. I would consider it ethically inappropriate to do liposuction on a 13 year old for generalized adiposity, even with a parent's consent.Best of luck to you...

Liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss in an individual of any age. If there is some psychologic advantage in getting body contouring at the age of 14 this is something that is possible but must be done with the permission of the parents.
