Would it be safe for a 14 year old to have liposuction?

I need to be thin in one week and I was wondering if it would be safe for me to get liposuction. Would it be safe?

1. no doctor in this country would ever do that and yes it is unsafe
2. Doubt it. Stop being so lazy and exercise.
3. that's probably really dangerous and how could you pay for it?
4. Sorry, you have to be patient with weight loss. There is no quick fix. Just exercise more and eat healthier! And drink lots of water instead of sugary drinks! So no, no liposuction!
5. liposuction isnt safe for anyone, plus you would have a huge scar where they put the tube in at, just exercise lol, if you dont youll just gain it all back anyway
6. No. Apparently you are only concerned about your looks. Change your perspective. Make healthier choices and you will feel better, too. Strive to be healthy, not skinny.
7. no it is not safe!!!! and if u do get liposuction i think u have to rest for a while... :]
8. omg, you NEED to be thin in one week? Omg,what is this world coming to? 1st, no doc will perform liposuction on a 14 yr old. 2nd, start eating healthy and work out and you will lose weight 3rd, be happy with who you are. I'm a size 8, 143lbs. and I love it. I eat what I want, however, i do eat healthy for the most part and take my dog out for 3, 45 min walks a day. People are so fixated on being thin...its so gross. Be happier being curvier...look at kim kardashian and marilyn monroe. MM was a size 16 and she did not look big at all!
9. absolutely NO DOCTOR would EVER do that on a 14 yr old. do you want to end up like tara reid? this is what happens when teens get lipo: http://d0.img.v4.skyrock.net/d0c/x-celebritybeauty-x/pics/1106794566_small.jpg
10. unless your 600 lbs a doctor would never do this to a 14 year old.Because you are to young and unless your morbidly obese it is to dangerous. Also , it takes more than a week for insurance companies to decide if they will cover the surgery, and unless you have rich parents you cant do it without insurance. Another thing , you wouldn't just wake up skinny! and even if you did get the surgery you would need at least a week to be even a little recovered. So i hate to break it to you but you will have to lose weight the old fashioned way. : /
11. sunshine1976 is right, no doctor in the country would do it. There's always exercising and eating the right foods. But don't go and stop eating because that can do some serious damage. Here, maybe this will help. Your body weight is determined by diet (how many calories you eat) and exercise (how many calories you burn off). No matter how sophisticated, complicated, glitzy or expensive a weight loss program is, in the end they all work the same way: you have to burn off more calories than you eat each day in order to lose weight. One pound equals 3500 calories. If you eat 500 calories less each day (or 3500 calories less each week), then you will lose one pound a week. Likewise, if you increase your activity to burn off 500 more calories a day (as in race-walking for 40 minutes), you would also lose one pound a week. If you do both, you will lose two pounds a week. One to two pounds a week is the most weight (pounds of fat) you can safely lose and still have adequate nutrition. Diet plans promising more weight loss than that usually rely on temporary water loss, not true fat reduction.
12. Risks By Mayo Clinic staff As with any major surgery, liposuction carries risks, such as bleeding, infection and an unwanted reaction to the anesthesia. And like all surgeries, complications vary depending on how large the procedure. If the surgeon is working on larger surfaces of your body or doing other procedures during the same operation, the risk of complications increases. Talk to your doctor about how these risks apply to you. Possible complications specific to liposuction include: * Contour irregularities. Your skin may appear bumpy, wavy or withered due to uneven fat removal, poor skin elasticity and unusual healing. This condition can be permanent. Cannula-induced damage beneath the skin may cause a permanent spotted appearance to your skin. A cannula is a thin tube that is used during the liposuction procedure. Temporary pockets of fluid (seromas) can form under your skin, particularly after ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) treatment. These may need to be drained with a needle. * Numbness. You may feel temporary or permanent numbness in the area of the surgery. Temporary nerve irritation also is possible. * Infections. Severe skin infections are rare but — if they occur — may require surgical treatment with the potential for significant scarring. * Internal punctures. Punctures in internal organs occur very rarely, when a cannula penetrates too deeply into the body. These punctures can require additional surgery to repair, and can be fatal. * Death. Fatalities may be caused by anesthesia or by shifts in the body's fluid levels as fluids are being injected and sucked out. The fluid shifts can cause kidney and heart problems. Death is very unlikely.
