Hi, it is best to get a clearance from the doctor that sees you for your fibroids to ensure no complications with your condition. I believe you are a good candidate for #Vaser liposuction. It is a minimally invasive way to get rid of stubborn fat and a good option for your abdomen as this procedure is easier to sculpt and contour the body. Back rolls, abdominal definition, and waistline are just a few of the common areas that can be treated with better results. You can even add a fat transfer procedure after. Common uses are for breast augmentation and Brazilian buttock lift depending on the amount of fat harvested. 
Please remember that liposuction is NOT a method of weight loss and muscle toning, or an alternative to diet and exercise. It does not affect one's metabolism. Regular exercise and diet is still recommended in maintaining good and lasting liposuction results. For extensive information about this procedure, please visit the web reference below. Best of luck!

If your GYN has no issue and you are not anemic I would be OK to do any type of Liposuction upon you. Whether it would be VASER or SmartLipo Triplex. Please research the types of LIPO.
