liposuction | Bariatric Surgery In islamabad

Obesity not only affects your overall appearance but can be very harmful to a person’s overall health as well. It can risk serious complications like heart disease, cholesterol issues, diabetes, and hypertension, etc.

Sometimes it becomes impossible to lose weight with diet and exercise alone, and non-surgical weight loss options are also given up in severe obesity cases. In such a situation, two names come to mind: Bariatric Surgery or Liposuction – Which Is Better for Weight Loss?  To know the answer, continue reading this blog below.

Bariatric Surgery 

It is a surgical procedure in which the stomach and intestines are often removed in a required percentage to limit the food and calorie intake. The surgery is performed on patients with severe obesity. They lose up to 60 to 70% of their original body weight within a year of surgery with a healthy lifestyle.

There are various techniques of this metabolic surgery, including: 

• Gastric Bypass
• Sleeve Gastrectomy
• Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding
• Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch
• Mini Gastric Bypass

Liposuction  

It is also a surgical procedure, but less invasive than bariatric surgery in Islamabad. In this surgery, doctors make small incisions at targeted areas, and then a tube is inserted and moved. After this, using a vacuum at the end of the tube, the excessive stubborn fat is removed from the body.

Common area treated with lipo surgery:

• Arms
• Abdomen 
• Buttocks
• Thighs
• Waistline
• Back
• Neck (double chin reduction
• Chest (male chest contouring/gynecomastia treatment)

Bariatric Surgery Vs Liposuction

Bariatric Surgery or Liposuction – Which Is Better for Weight Loss?

Liposuction in Islamabad is a body contouring procedure, which means it only targets the fat and modifies the shape and appearance of the body, while bariatric surgery is a weight loss surgery that results in significant weight loss.

With liposuction, you lose only a few pounds because surgeons remove fat from the body. In contrast, bariatric surgery can help you lose up to 60–70% of your original body weight within 12 months. If you want to get rid of stubborn excess weight, bariatric surgery is a more effective option.

Can Both Procedures Be Combined?

Surgeons may perform liposuction after bariatric surgery to improve body shape, but they rarely combine both procedures at the same time. For safe results and to avoid complications, doctors usually recommend waiting 12 to 18 months until your weight stabilizes. Performing both procedures too early can increase the risk of infection and slow down healing.
