Liposuction Basics

For people considering liposuction as a way of losing lots of weight quickly, Dr. Visek, a top plastic surgeon in Prague, has some frank words of advice. Elle Magazine asked him what kinds of cosmetic surgery treatments he didn't like;

"In case a client comes and wants to loose 15 kg through liposuction. We send this type of clients to a dietologist. She might be doing some mistake in her eating habits, which she is not aware of, and liposuction is therefore useless. Besides, it is always beneficial to be disciplined with eating habits also for the maintenance of the body shape after liposuction. Liposuction is then a good motivation."

Americans sure are in need of more "dietologists" (I think we call them nutritionists or dieticians here) to help them lose the weight. Maybe with food prices getting higher, Americans will finally stop shoving food in their faces 24/7. Liposuction was never meant as a weight loss tool, and I wish everyone understood that message. I work with a Columbia, Maryland liposuction surgeon, and while most people understand that this is a body contouring procedure, there are still women and men who think of it as an "easy way" to lose weight, but it's not.
