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?

Answer: Liposuction age You are not too young to undergo liposuction. In fact, younger patients often get a better result to due to better skin elasticity and contraction after the procedure. Patients who lose a significant amount of weight will often have loose skin which can limit the liposuction results. It is difficult to make specific recommendations without pictures or an examination. My advice is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

Answer: Liposuction Indications ljk0609. While photographs would be helpful, it sounds like you are a reasonable candidate for a Liposuction of your upper inner thighs, even at your age. It sounds like you have maxed out your weight loss with diet and exercise, which was the right thing to do, and liposuction should address your needs quite nicely. Seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to explore all options. Good luck.
