My Daughter Has Always Been Chubby? Liposuction an Option?

Question

She never wants to go out and refuses to get new clothes because she feels there is no point. She's always been on the chubby side and she tries so hard with exercising and healthy food. But nothing works.She wants to be thin so badly.

Donna Rich, MD · Answer

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.

Mark Deutsch, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Liposuction can help areas that are recalcitrant to diet and exercise.  It might give her better contour but an exam in person is necessary.

David Hansen, MD · Answer

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

The life action posted photos are nice but are really not helpful in her nude appearance. If she does not want to diet and exercise than using liposuction surgery is a risk or escape. Best to seek IN PERSON evaluations from boarded Pss in your city./
