What Risks Are There In Liposuction?
Liposuction is a form of cosmetic surgery that involves the removal of fat cells from the body, especially from the waist downwards, in specific fat deposit zones: the hips, buttock and outer thighs. Liposuction promises that elusive body that you’ve always wanted… but most people don’t read about the other side. If you are contemplating such a surgery, read on.
I have never understood this fascination of going under the knife to look like those stick-thin models. What’s wrong with plain old exercise and diet? Many people argue that such fad diets don’t work for them. Well, I’m not talking about a crash diet, what I mean is an complete lifestyle change—eating well proportioned meals at the proper times, with regular exercise. Even if this does not seem to be working out, there are many other choices, like plus-size clothing, which, when worn in the right way, tends to play down unsightly areas of the body.
If you are going for this surgery, chances are, you are overweight. Realistically, it is impossible to get that slim new you in just one session, for the most common weight loss after liposuction is reported to be 5 kgs—hardly a flattering figure, excuse the pun. If you want more reduction, you would have to undergo a second session of the hospital, local or general anesthesia, bruises, scars, and post-operative pain. Excessive liposuction can cause problems including dents, lumps, and sagging skin.1 Moreover, this surgery isn’t the magic fix your body needs—you are STILL going to have to watch what you eat following the operation, and more carefully than ever before. Liposuction does not ensure that you won’t recover some fat.
Besides surgery, I would highly recommend, no, not another cosmetic discovery, but rather an internal change—an attitude adjustment. Because of their fat figure, most people complain of low self-confidence and hence opt for this treatment. However, I think there are a whole lot of people on this planet who care for the person you are inside rather than the physical side. It’s true that individuals with bigger bodies have bigger hearts, and therefore more love to go round! At the end of the day, people aren’t actually looking at how much you weighed, or where your fatty-trouble spots lay, but rather the way you made them feel, and your optimistic outlook.
The surgery isn’t worth the risk. So, if you’ve got fat, I’d say stick with it.
