Due to the limitations of conventional weight loss methods, more and more people in recent years have begun to place their hopes for weight loss on the fast and clear weight loss surgery – liposuction and weight loss metabolic surgery. However, surgical weight loss is not a conventional method, and many people have only heard of their weight loss effects, but do not know enough about their weight loss principles and precautions, and cannot figure out the difference between the two, so even if they want to lose weight, they do not know which one is more suitable for them. In fact, these two types of weight loss surgery are fundamentally different and target different groups of people, as long as they are clear about their weight loss principles, they will know which one is suitable for them. The difference between the two types of surgery Liposuction is an indicator of weight loss surgery. It is based on the principle of extracting subcutaneous fat from designated parts of the body through medical devices to directly reduce the patient’s fat cells, with immediate results, truly achieving where you want to lose weight. But also because it is a direct extraction of cells, too much can not be pumped at once, otherwise there will be problems such as skin depression, and also can not extract visceral fat, the weight loss effect is more limited. Weight loss metabolic surgery is just the opposite. This kind of weight loss surgery can only be performed on the whole body, not only on specific parts, because it is a surgical procedure to reduce stomach capacity and shorten the intestines to adjust appetite, food intake and absorption efficiency and other aspects in order to reduce caloric intake. Applicable people for both procedures Since liposuction surgery has limited weight loss effect and has the characteristics of localized weight loss, it is more suitable for those who are not very heavy but want to make localized adjustments to their body, mostly as a supplementary weight loss method. For example, some people who use conventional weight loss methods, although their weight is still ideal, but the places they want to lose are not thin, but the places they don’t want to lose are thin, so they can use liposuction surgery to lose the places they want to lose, and the places they don’t want to lose continue to stay the same. In addition, in order to reduce the risk of surgery, people who are overweight (BMI over 30) and whose bodies are suffering from diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are not suitable to use this method for weight loss. Weight loss metabolic surgery is relatively more widely available and suitable for most obese people, especially those who have difficulty achieving a healthy weight through conventional weight loss methods. Because many obese people often suffer from various obesity-related diseases, this surgery is now used not only for weight loss, but also for the treatment of diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea syndrome and other diseases caused by obesity, and the treatment effect is usually much better than those conventional treatment methods, but this does not mean that only people suffering from obesity-related diseases are suitable for bariatric surgery. Although bariatric metabolic surgery is relatively mature and the risk of surgery is low, the patient’s physical status is a factor that affects the risk of any surgery, and the same is true for bariatric surgery. For those who need weight loss metabolic surgery, the sooner the surgery is performed, the safer it will be and the greater the degree of improvement to their lives, as long as they meet the criteria for the surgery. In fact, whether it is liposuction surgery or weight loss metabolic surgery, the later stage is inseparable from the support of life and eating habits, otherwise there will be a risk of re-fat, only that weight loss metabolic surgery is easier to control because it changes the structure of the gastrointestinal tract, so the re-fat rate is lower. So surgery to lose weight is not exactly a lazy weight loss method, before deciding to use these methods to lose weight, or be prepared to improve your lifestyle habits.
