Can I undergo liposuction to remove 40 lbs. of fat from my thighs and lower abdomen? Or would you recommend full body? (photos)

Asked By:MissOrginal in Hialeah, Florida

I am currently 5'8, 180lbs and used to 140lbs which I would like to go back to. Most of the weight is in my thighs and I have love handles but it seems easier to get rid of fat in my stomach area than lower body. How many procedures would be needed a d what is an estimated cost?
