Best Obesity Treatment doctors in New Link Road

It's important to focus on a balanced diet rich in proteins, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. Regular meals and snacks can help, along with strength training exercises to build muscle. Please consult a dietitian for a personalized plan and a doctor to rule out any underlying health issues.

Liposuction or literally ‘sucking out fat’ is a suboptimal therapy for OBESE patients who desire weight loss. Liposuction can be considered as a treatment option for body sculpting, or slightly overweight patients who need to shape their abdomen in a particular manner. However, if one is obese, liposuction will cause a disproportionate loss of fat over the tummy, and leave space for fat re-accumulation in the future.

There are many weight loss options for a proportionate weight loss, eg. diet, exercise, or medications.

The healthier or ‘more natural’ way to lose weight in obese patients (with a BMI of more than 30 kg/m2) is bariatric or metabolic surgery, wherein the stomach is re-sized or bypassed using keyhole surgery. This surgery causes proportionate loss of fat all over the body up to 80% of the excess body weight, over a period of 1-1.5 years. This surgery is a safe and effective option if done by a certified surgeon at a high-volume center.

Liposuction is not the best option for treating hypothyroidism, PCOD, and high blood insulin. These comorbidities can act as a roadblock to weight loss, and a comprehensive treatment program including lifestyle modifications, nutritional changes, and medication may be best. Seek advice from an endocrinologist, gynecologist, and nutritionist to come up with a comprehensive plan that addresses your personal health needs.
