There are many friends who will wonder: **= Is it fat loss?Bariatric surgery = liposuction?Today we're all going to chat

**= Fat Loss?

*And fat loss are two different concepts.

*, usually refers to a loss of body weight. The composition of body weight includes muscles, bones, internal organs, water, fat and other parts, and when any of these contents are reduced, weight will be lost. Therefore, ** does not mean that you have just lost fat.

For example, drastically restricting energy intake, extreme dieting, or excessive exercise may lead to a significant loss of muscle and water, resulting in weight loss, but no real reduction in body fat percentage.

Fat loss, on the other hand, refers to reducing the amount of fat in the body, regardless of body weight. The goal of fat loss is to change body shape and improve health, so that the body has a healthy fat content and good muscle tone. Bariatric surgery = liposuction?Bariatric surgery aims to help obese patients lose weight, thereby improving obesity-related metabolic problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc. These surgeries are usually achieved by changing the size of the stomach or the absorption capacity of the digestive system, such as sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass surgery, etc. Bariatric surgery is usually reserved for people who are severely obese and who are unable to control their weight effectively by other methods.

Whereas, fat reduction surgery usually refers to plastic surgery to adjust the fat content of certain parts of the body to improve body shape and appearance. Common fat reduction surgeries include liposuction (liposuction) and fat grafting, which are used to shape the body's curves and improve local excess fat.

In general, bariatric surgery aims to reduce overall body weight and improve obesity-related metabolic problems, while fat reduction surgery aims to adjust local fat distribution and improve appearance. The two surgical methods are suitable for different people, purposes, and results. Before considering any surgery, it is advisable to consult a medical professional to choose the most suitable method for your situation.
