What's the Difference Between Losing Weight Through Diet and Execrises and Losing It Through Liposuction?

The best way to lose weight is always diet and exercise. This is vastly superior in regards to your health and metabolism. That being said, natural weight loss will reduce fat in the areas of your body that are genetically programmed to lose fat first (for instance some women lose it in their breasts before their hips-though they wish it were the other way around). Liposuction provides targeted weight loss/fat reduction in the areas that are most out of proportion with the rest of the body. Liposuction provides no metabolic benefit to an overweight person (it is as if the fat were never there in the first place). The best candidate for liposuction is a patient with a normal body weight who has localized areas of excess adiposity (such as lateral thigh saddle bags). I hops this helps

        As a bodybuilder and a plastic surgeon, I will have a unique perspective on this.  If you are in good shape and you can never get to that next level, I can take your physique to that next level with liposuction.  Sometimes, individuals will have problem areas that are relatively exercise resistant.  Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.
