Overview
There is a myth that weight loss is possible with liposuction. But according to recent research, only 20-30 per cent of the fat is removed with liposuction. Also, the body's fat may accumulate without a balanced diet and lack of regular exercise. We all have different shapes and sizes. That means the accumulation of fat in the body happens in other places. Liposuction can save extra fat from a desired area, but weight loss is entirely different.
How Does Liposuction Work?
Liposuction is a surgical treatment which involves invasive procedures. In this fat removal treatment, a cannula is inserted into the body through an incision that breaks down the fat deposits. Then they are sucked out of the body like a vacuum cleaner sucks the dust from carpets.
Only about two to five pounds of weight is lost after the liposuction treatment. It means liposuction does not have much effect on the body in terms of body mass. However, you can maintain that and lose some weight naturally with regular exercise and a proper diet. For best results and a smoother, toned body, you must have patience and relentlessly work towards your goals.
How Does Weight Loss Work?
Weight loss is basically about shedding the extra fat in the body. However, it must be noted that in losing weight, you don’t get rid of those fat cells; they shrink in size as their lipid content is used up.
In future, if you gain some weight, those fat cells may grow in size, increasing your overall body weight.
Is Liposuction an Alternative For Weight Loss Regimen?
The question is whether liposuction can help with weight loss or not. The answer is no and yes. No, because lipo only helps reduce a few pounds after the surgery, which means you will have to take another road for further weight reduction. You must control your calorie intake and exercise regularly to shrink the fat in targeted areas.
In many cases, if a patient is obese and facing any health issue because of it, doctors may recommend liposuction to remove that extra fat, which is beyond the control of exercise and diet. You need to follow the conventional weight loss method to maintain a healthy weight.
