Beware of liposuction body carving. Don't try easily.

Female patients weighing as high as 70-80 kg are often seen in medical beauty clinics, and they need doctors to help them lose weight quickly through liposuction. Some women are "paper men" whose body mass index is lower than 18. Obviously, I am short of body fat, but I still ask the doctor to help me liposuction, hoping to lose weight. The above two extreme cases often make plastic surgeons shake their heads and shout: "These liposuction mistakes must not be careless! 」

Gary Xu, CEO of Plastic Surgery Clinic, said that the purpose of liposuction is to shape the body, shape a gentle and graceful curve, and tend to medical beauty, which is completely different from the purpose of weight loss surgery to improve health. (Photography/Huang) First of all, liposuction is not a sharp weapon to lose weight, nor does it mean that you can lose excess weight. Liposuction is to extract excess fat through the principle of negative pressure. On average, about 2000 ~ 3000 cc of fat and blood water are extracted from one site at a time, and drugs need to be injected. The effect on weight loss is not significant. Gary Xu, CEO of Plastic Surgery Clinic, said that the purpose of liposuction is to shape the body, shape a gentle and graceful curve, and tend to medical beauty, which is completely different from the purpose of weight loss surgery to improve health. Therefore, people who want to lose weight quickly through liposuction, it is best not to try it easily, so as not to waste money and harm their health and bring greater disappointment.

As for WHO people who are too thin, they are not suitable for liposuction. The World Health Organization (WHO) stipulates that people with lean body weight below standard weight 10% and body mass index below 18.5 are underweight and lack of body fat, which will seriously increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Some women blindly pursue a star-like figure and ask doctors to make themselves exactly like their stars. In fact, not everyone has the innate conditions of "nine bodies", and beauty is not achieved by reproduction. Everyone has his own golden ratio, from face to curve. It can be achieved step by step through liposuction, so liposuction is not only a medical technology of human sculpture, but also an artistic aesthetic.

There are various body sculpting methods in the market, including traditional liposuction, water jet liposuction, laser liposuction, ultrasonic liposuction and even frozen liposuction. Patients are often at a loss. In order to grab customers, some operators do not hesitate to launch ultra-low-price promotions, and people with unknown reasons automatically take out their wallets, but the effect is not as good as expected, and may even leave sequelae because of improper operation.

Gary Xu reminded people who are interested in body shaping to polish their eyes and seek professional and qualified doctors to evaluate their diagnosis, including their own fat mass, the parts they want to do, their budget, and whether they have a history of congenital diseases, pulmonary insufficiency, abnormal coagulation, diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension, etc. The above is not suitable. The most important thing is to find a professional and qualified doctor to ensure safety. In addition, we should follow the doctor's advice to implement postoperative care, and continue to cooperate with dietary calorie control, as well as keep regular exercise and take a multi-pronged approach to realize the dream of modifying curves.
