Tummy Lipo and BMI - I was told I need to have BMI of 33 to get procedure. Mine is 40. Do I have other options?

Asked By:AnneBaily5

I am 34 years old and doing what I can to get healthier and lose some weight. I don't want to get gastric bypass/sleeve or band. I do plan to have kids in the future. What are my options? Are there other doctors who would do lip suction at my BMI?
