Weight loss and health issues have gained considerable attention over the years, and for good reason. The United States is facing an obesity “epidemic.” Indeed, more than one out of three American adults are obese, meaning that they have a body mass index (BMI) of 30.0 or more. Another third are overweight, meaning they have a BMI between 25.0 and 30.0. If left unchecked, obesity and generally unhealthy lifestyles can lead to serious medical issues such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.
The best way to lose weight — and, really, the only way — is to diet and exercise. Without proper diet and exercise habits, there is no way to lose weight that is not detrimental to your health. Still, for some people diet and exercise aren’t enough to remove all the weight they want to. Fat cells are known for their stubbornness. Over time, they can collect and even cling to the body. In addition to diet and exercise, liposuction is a safe and effective option for people who are dedicated to losing weight and looking their best.
Liposuction and other medical weight loss solutions should be considered supplemental to your overall fitness routine. Liposuction is not a substitute for diet and exercise. Medical weight loss doctors know full well that liposuction alone is not a “cure” for obesity. Patients who undergo liposuction procedures but do not diet and exercise will most likely find themselves back to their former bodies in no time.
Still, liposuction is one of the more popular medical weight loss solutions out there due to its relative simplicity and its short recovery time. Patients can be up and on their feet as quickly as a week. With liposuction, patients can finally lose the weight they want and with diet and exercise can keep their bodies amazing.
