As a reasonably healthy and athletic young male I am considering the option of liposuction on my lower abdomen. I'm about 5'9-10 and 190ish pounds with a reasonable amount of muscle. I stay pretty active and hit the gym when my work schedules allows, playing games outside in my free time. My reasoning for lipo is:

A) I can afford it. B) I am young and without any medical conditions so I should be able to recover quickly from any surgery. C) I've been reading that its the only effective way to actually remove the fat cells in that area instead of just shrinking them via working out.

Is this a horrible idea or is lipo relatively safe these days if I go to a plastic surgeon of reasonable quality?

Thanks!
