Can I have a liposuction if I'm "too small"? (Photo)

February 17, 2023
Asked By:punkiewonka in Little York, IN

I've had several consultations with doctors around the Philadelphia area and one of them said that I was too small and that they could only do one area at a time. Eg. abdomen and then another time flanks. Another dr. Said that I needed to gain 32 pounds! im currently 121 pounds and I'm 5'3. The most I have weighted is 132 and I looked horrible, I can't imagine being heavier than that. I am starting to get discouraged because I can't find a doctor who would actually perform a lipo on me :(
