Hi my name is Carole Calen. My daughter showed me this website and set it up for me to ask my question on wether or not it was possible to have her get liposuction at the age of 16 and a half. She's currently 185 lbs and 5'2" making her look much heavier than she would like. She's tried diets and exercise but it's not enough. I was wondering with my consent if it's possible for her to get the surgery done and the details behind it. Thank you so much doctor(s)!
