Liposuction Is Not Better Than Exercise
Before we go any further, it is important to note that exercise has many other benefits beyond toning your physique. Regular exercise is vital for good heart health and total well-being. However, it does have limitations when it comes to body sculpting.
Depending on factors like hormonal changes, anatomy, and genetics, you may have stubborn pockets of fat on your stomach, thighs, buttocks, back, or arms that don’t seem to resolve no matter what you do.
Liposuction poses a promising solution for patients who have reached their ideal weight but want to eliminate stubborn fat deposits in specific areas.
What Liposuction Can Do That Exercise Can’t
Fat distribution is permanently established by adulthood. We have a set number of cells that impact where our body deposits fat. While certain factors may disrupt this distribution, our bodies are all unique. This is why some people have larger posteriors or more trouble toning their arms than others.
When you shed weight through exercise and diet, fat cells shrink rather than disappear entirely. This means if you gain weight, these cells will expand.
Liposuction, on the other hand, completely removes fat cells in targeted areas. Once these cells are removed, they are gone forever. This does not mean you cannot gain weight after treatment, but it does mean that the excess deposits in certain areas will not return.
That being said, anyone can gain weight and no longer notice the results of their treatment. For this reason, ideal liposuction candidates are already at their ideal weight and looking to tone and sculpt their figures.
