Is Liposuction a safe way to lose fats?

Sometimes, when we are trying our best to lose fats, we are prepared to try anything. Then you learn about this fantastic technique that simply sucks all the fats out of your body – liposuction.

Before we go on further, let us be very clear on one thing: liposuction is a form of minor operation. Yes, it is a medical procedure. In fact, the very flippant way liposuction has been introduced to the world has actually resulted in some horrifying stories.

The Singapore Government has a proposed legislation to control the use of liposuction (Proposed Liposuction Regime). This proposal has been widely debated by people in the industry and by observers.

But our point here is this, liposuction is a medical procedure, albeit a minor one. While it is not a major surgery, it does entail elements of medicinal health-care. Indiscriminate use of liposuction is not advisable.

Is liposuction safe?

The simple answer is yes, in the hands of a qualified practitioner. Is it a safe way to lose fats? Well, there are many other non-surgical, non-invasive way of losing fats. Unless you are very much over weight, there is really no need to step into such drastic measures.

Even for those whose BMI is beyond 35, liposuction is not the first option you should consider. With all the talk on losing fats using liposuction, many have disregarded the other side effects. Loose skin is one of the most common. With a proper diet and exercise program, you lose fat gradually and your skin remains toned and taunt. An artificial removal, suddenly losing inches, gives your skin no time to adjust.

There are cases where liposuction makes sense, and there are times when the alternatives are not only cheaper, but much more desirable. Think it through carefully.
