Editorial: All You Need to Know about Liposuction

If diet does not work, then liposuction it is. That is a common misconception among most people – mainly women – who want to lose weight by cutting corners. While the treatment often does its magic, but is it worth the risk? Or, do you have enough information to assure yourselves to get your fat sucked?

If the answer to the latter question is “No”, then we will illuminate you, while you are ruminating on getting liposuction.

Liposuction, as the name tells you, is a process of sucking fat from specific, fat-prone areas of your body. Not only does it remove the fat, but liposuction also contribute to shaping the body to be more eye-catching.

Let’s see it from the statistics perspective. Between 2017-2018, British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons tabulated that the percentage of liposuction in the UK rose to 12%. However, do not assume only women do this, since men made 25% of the 12%, almost half of the percentage.

In 2015, US noted that liposuction overthrew plastic surgery as the most frequent beauty surgery done in the nation. With these statistics, of course, liposuction has become a complementary lifestyle.

But, we are here to answer the vital question: does liposuction actually help you lose weight? The answer is “It depends”. Long-term or short-term? While liposuction seems tremendously helpful in terms of making you look more attractive and thin, the result is temporary.

In addition, not only does it suck your fat, but also your money. In UK, it costs between £2,000 and £6,000. While in some country, for example: Indonesia, the price ranges from Rp 25 million to 40 million.

Should you not take care of your food intake and your lifestyle, the fat will return still. That is why liposuction is never an answer to obesity. In other words, considering the amount of pain and money you pull out, we strongly rejected liposuction for your good.

The risks of liposuction are also a key factor that you need to consider. It is not a rare case that liposuction may lead to death, infections and other severe complications.

For long-term result, we suggest you to take care of your lifestyle and food intake.

There is a saying, “Beauty comes with pain”. Of course, it comes with pain but not with cutting corners, such as liposuction. Indeed, the liposuction process is painful, but certainly we strongly suggest that you strive through sports and healthy diet.
