Is liposuction at 22 too young? I regularly workout and lift weights.

Asked By:ljk0609 in Louisville, KY

Hello, I am 22 years old. I used to weigh 200lbs but I diet and exercised my way down to 150. I am currently 5’7, female and have hit a point where I am stuck at 158 pounds. My only issue is that I have fat on the inside of my thighs that causes chafing anytime I wear shorts or a dress. Even at my lightest I had this problem and if I’m going to have lipo I would want to do other places while I’m at it. Is 22 too young to consider lipo?
