Liposuction Is Not An Effective Approach To Weight Loss For Obese People

Weight gain is becoming so prevalent these days that seeking weight loss treatment is quite common. Often people opt for the first approach they hear about from others, mostly without any consultation from obesity surgery doctors. Liposuction is one such procedure that many obese and overweight people consider for attaining significant weight loss. But in reality, liposuction is an ineffective procedure for obesity, and such individuals should consider bariatric surgery instead. Liposuction is a procedure that only improves the physical contour itself and it is only effective for people with slight fat bulges who are otherwise okay. Obese individuals get little to no benefits from it. Let’s understand it with the help of a case study.
Mr. Satish Kumar a young man of 26 also suffered from the same dilemma. Mr. Kumar has been a healthy child since his childhood, but after he moved to his residential academic life, things started to change for worse. He began to get busy with classroom studies and barely had any time to go to play outdoor sports. To make things worse, the hostel canteen used to provide little healthy food. The food choices were mostly restricted to the highly processed, food with lots of oils and other fattening stuff. As a result, he began to gain weight since the second year itself.
His friend-circle was huge, so the lists of feats for birthdays, ‘exam over’ and ‘cheer up’ parties were never-ending. Needless to say, his BMI reached 28 in a mere age of 23. after he returned home, he gave few shots at gymming and dieting, but it did very little to resolve the situation. He got in touch with one of his classmates, who lost her ‘vacation belly bulges’ with a quick liposuction and suggested him of the same. Without considering the consequences or evaluating its feasibility, he almost booked his spot in a well know liposuction facility.
Days before availing the same, he came in contact with an acquaintance, with whom, he happened to share this information. Being a medical student himself, his friend strongly advised him against it. Instead, he asked him to take time out and consider other obesity treatment options such as obesity surgery. Mr. Kumar did the same and booked his appointment with a well known bariatric surgeon in Kolkata. During the consultation, for the first time, he became familiar with both the procedure and its scope. He finally understood what was the right option for him and undergone a bariatric surgery.
Now he is living a healthy life, free of extra weight and its associated illness. He also advises other bulky fellows he meets towards the knowledge regarding liposuction and bariatric surgery.
