Liposuction is a surgical treatment using suction technique to get rid of fat from specific areas of the body and shapes these areas. It’s not an overall weight-loss method and should not be deemed an alternative to weight loss programs. If you’re overweight and want to shed the excess pounds, it’s better to exercise and change your lifestyle, or perhaps try bariatric surgery. On the other hand, if you are only trying to get rid of fat in specific areas like your stomach or thigh, then liposuction may be for you.
Liposuction like Smart Lipo removes fat from specific areas that do not respond to diet and exercise. Usually, it’s done on the following:
- Abdomen
- Buttocks
- Upper arms
- Hips
- Thighs
- Chin and neck
It’s also sometimes done to remove excess fat tissue in the breast (for those who have gynecomastia).
When a person gains weight, fat cells also get bigger in size and volume. Liposuction reduces fat cells and the resulting contour changes are permanent if you can keep your weight stable.
After your liposuction procedure, the skin molds into the new contours. If you have good skin elasticity, the skin will appear smooth. If you have poor skin elasticity, however, the skin may become loose. Liposuction does not help with skin dimpling (cellulite) and neither does it remove stretch marks.
Benefits of Liposuction to Your Health
There’s no doubt many people have heard about liposuction. But the truth is, very few know of its health benefits. They are as follows:
1. Lower Blood Fat Levels
In a study (2011) that analyzed 229 people who underwent liposuction, it was found that they had 43% lower triglyceride levels after surgery. This is significantly higher than taking medicines to lower triglyceride in the blood which can only lower it by an average of 20%.
2. Lower Inflammatory Cells
Studies have shown that liposuction can reduce the number of inflammatory cells in the body by 11%. A lower number of inflammatory cells lowers a person’s risk of cardiovascular conditions, many of which can be severe or even fatal.
3. Improved Self-esteem
It’s common for overweight people to have a low self-esteem. Liposuction can dramatically change a person’s physical appearance for the better resulting in improved self-esteem.
4. Improved Mobility
Liposuction reduces fat pockets in the body like the hips, thighs and knees which may sometimes cause mobility issues. Once removed, mobility is restored.
5. Increased Libido
Research shows that overweight individuals are more prone to fatigue which leads to decreased libido. Moreover, people with weight problems often have low self esteem which also lowers libido.
6. A Healthier Lifestyle
Liposuction leads to a nearly instant weight loss and oftentimes the results motivate people to live a healthier lifestyle.
With all these benefits, it’s really no surprise than millions of people around the world have undergone liposuction. To get the best results, always choose a highly experienced surgeon or doctor who has performed numerous successful lipo surgeries. Smart lipo demo:
