Can a teenager have nonsurgical liposuction done?

March 7, 2014
Asked By:LReese

I am looking for a solution for my teenage daughter. Disproportionate thighs are a genetic problem in our family and unfortunately she has inherited this. She has been begging me to get this fixed. She eats an impeccable diet and she exercises. I had lipo on my thighs in my 20s and it made a huge difference in my overall body image. I have read about non-surgical options, but I am not sure if this is appropriate for her. Any suggestions? Thanks
