My Daughter Has Always Been Chubby? Liposuction an Option?

Liposuction is a good option for your daughter and can really help her self-esteem. It is very safe if done under local tumescent and may be the best money you ever spent on her. sincerely,david Hansen,md

Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, nor will it make someone thin who is not at their ideal body weight.  Your daughter needs to see a physician about weight loss, nutrition and exercise.

Lipopsuction is not a weight loss surgery.  Instead, it is meant to contour adult patients who are within just a few pounds of their ideal body weight.  You haven't mentioned your daughter's age, but if she is a teenager then she is still growing and her body will continue to change.  She also has to achieve the appropriate level of maturity to have realistic expectations of the surgery.  Assuming that she is otherwise healthy, my suggestion would be to take her for a consultation with a registered dietician rather than a surgeon at this point.
