Am I a good candidate for liposuction? (photos)

Asked By:Modest398001 in San Diego, California

I used to be very fit (175 pounds/15% BF) few years ago but I could not exercise for a couple of years due to a car accident and I gained around 30 pounds of weight in that time due to lack of exercise and some medicine side effects. Now I have been going to the gym for more than 9 months but my stomach does not go down at all( I have measured it). I see great results in all other areas in my body but not my stomach from exercise and diet. Should I do lipo now?
