Why is it so difficult to stop the process of gaining weight?
The hormonal and biochemical balance, and hence the metabolic rate, depends on the amount of fat in the body. Starting to get fat, we disrupt the balance of hormones such as insulin, leptin, ghrelin, this leads to an accelerated accumulation of body fat. Gaining weight, a person falls into a vicious circle: the more fat, the faster it accumulates and the more difficult it is to get rid of it.
How can you get rid of excess weight? Of course, a healthy lifestyle is the basis of everything, but if you feel that you cannot cope on your own, it’s time to turn to specialists.
Can plastic surgery break the cycle?
Previously, it was believed that liposuction is not a way to lose weight, but a method that helps to improve body contours by getting rid of local fat deposits. Experts emphasized that liposuction should not be seen as a method to combat clinical obesity. However, recent research shows the opposite. Turns out, liposuction can be a crucial step in losing weight.
Getting rid of excess fat has been proven to help restore proper metabolism. After the removal of excess adipose tissue, the hormonal and biochemical balance begins to approach normal. According to the studies, most patients whose body mass index is about 30 units, in order to embark on the path of healing the body, one procedure is enough, during which 2,5 – 3 liters of fat are removed. If a person has morbid obesity, significantly more adipose tissue needs to be removed, which will require several liposuction sessions.
The second factor is psychological. The operation is a quick, albeit expensive, method that gives instant results. You open your eyes and see yourself losing weight! This is a powerful incentive to keep losing weight so that you never return to your previous state of hopelessness. The prospect of getting a perfect body becomes so real that you want to continue to lose weight on your own. Many Hollywood celebrities actively began to take care of themselves, having once done liposuction. In an interview, Beyoncé admitted that for the first time she resorted to liposuction not for reasons of beauty, but for health. Sports and diets did not give the desired effect, the reason for this was a slow metabolism. Having done liposuction, the singer received an incentive to further work on herself: she did not stop attending the gym and monitor her diet, on the contrary, this stimulated her to continue to engage in herself in all directions. Dwayne Johnson, the idol of millions, had big problems with weight in his youth. The actor was obese, and nothing helped to cope with it. And then he decided to resort to liposuction. Getting rid of extra pounds inspired him to seriously engage in sports and generally take care of himself.
Instead of confinement. Of course, situations are different. For some, liposuction is enough to obtain new body contours, while some patients, after removing excess fat, may need a circular skin tightening (upper torsoplasty, abdominoplasty and other types of surgical interventions). Body shaping, like any other serious intervention, is carried out strictly according to individual indications, which must take into account the degree of weight gain, age and general health. Therefore, liposuction can be both an independent type of patient care and the first stage in a series of changes after significant weight loss or bariatrics. As the saying goes, if you have 5-15 extra pounds, it’s easy to help. If 50-100 – several liposuction and lifting operations may be required. But the main thing here is motivation, desire and continuous effort. You can only help those who want it themselves and are determined to cooperate with the doctor.
