I had liposuction performed by a Toronto, Canada, doctor. I had two procedures done and the end result is fantastic. I've been living with the results for 2 years now. Although there wasn't a drastic change in my size I now feel a lot more comfortable with myself. Liposuction makes those subtle changes that exercise could never do for me. I was 19 years old when I had my first procedure and I had my second one 10 months later. My surgeon was a very caring doctor and my satisfaction was as important for him as it was for me. I felt nothing during the surgery at all and afterwards I was achy and had to move around slowly but there was no pain even when I was recovering.
Additional thoughts:
I'd say go for it!
