Liposuction and bariatric surgery — Do they have the same effect for weight loss?

Although liposuction and bariatric surgery, both are touted to be weight loss procedures, it is not the same. Liposuction is merely an aesthetic procedure that helps you to cut down on the weight by removing fat from the body. It mainly targets the flabby parts of the body such as the belly region, arms and thighs. While liposuction is mainly for overweight people who want to get back in shape, bariatric surgery is usually recommended for obese people who fail to lose weight through diet and exercise. Bariatric surgery is for people suffering from metabolic conditions like obesity, diabetes and heart disease, that interferes with the normal functioning of the life. Unlike liposuction, which is an aesthetic procedure, bariatric surgery is aimed at reducing weight to achieve better control of blood glucose and blood pressure level. Here’s more on bariatric surgery or body contouring (liposuction and tucks) what should you opt for?
