Can you get Lipo with a bullet still lodged in your body? (Photos)

10 years ago I was shot in my left buttocks. And the bullet is still lodged in my hip. Is it possible to still get liposuction around the flanks and lower stomach area? Or should I try an alternative approach. And if so what are some alternative approaches?
