weight loss vs. resculpturing

We are expanding our weight loss program to medspas outside of our area. These spas perform procedures such as liposuction, "tummy tucks", fat injections and other body resculpturing procedures. The physicians at these spas tell me that often people confuse these procedures for weight loss surgery. Ethically, physicians are not supposed to do liposuction on people above a certain body weight. It is more dangerous to do this in obese people.

It is important to distinguish between losing weight and body resculpturing. Obviously, losing weight most definitiely resculptures the body in amazingly good ways. But more importantly, losing weight makes you HEALTHIER! Sucking fat out, injecting fat cells, etc. may improve the aesthetic look, but will do ZERO for improving your health.

There is certainly nothing wrong with wanting to look your best and procedures such as liopsuction can make you happier with your "look". Losing weight will help you look younger, have better self-esteem and confidence , but also make your internal organs healthier at the same time.
