When it comes to surgical weight loss, I’m afraid that the first thing that comes to mind is not metabolic surgery for the gastrointestinal tract, but liposuction, which removes fat directly. After years of publicity, many people have always thought that “weight loss surgery = liposuction”. Today, we will talk about what is the difference between weight loss surgery and liposuction, and how to choose? First of all, it should be clear that liposuction is not a weight loss surgery, but a kind of plastic surgery. The principle of liposuction surgery through surgical methods to extract local subcutaneous fat in the body, from the essence of a plastic surgery, this surgery is suitable for some mild overweight, BMI (body mass index) is not more than 30, and suffers from heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure of the disease of the population can not be operated on, short-term localized on the body is effective, but extremely easy to rebound, and there is bleeding, infection, skin collapse and other Various skin problems are possible. The principle of weight loss surgery is to change the structure of the gastrointestinal tract in the body, and change the human body from appetite, food quantity, absorption, hormone regulation and other aspects, so as to achieve the effect of weight loss. Weight loss surgery is suitable for people who generally suffer from diabetes, hypertension, high blood pressure, high blood fat, sleep apnea syndrome and other metabolic diseases of obesity patients, in the mature and professional weight loss surgery centers, with the health manager’s life dietary guidance, an average of one year after the operation can lose 60% -80% of the body’s excess weight, the risk aspect of the possibility of bleeding, infection, but with the physician’s technical level of expertise, the Surgical safety will be greatly improved. In conclusion, liposuction surgery is a kind of plastic surgery for people who are not overweight but have very high requirements for body shape. Bariatric surgery, on the other hand, is for the broader obese population and is used to help patients regain their health. Regardless of which type of surgery is performed, in order to minimize the riskiness of the surgery, you should be the first to understand the level of professionalism of the doctor and hospital to ensure the safety of the surgery.
