The expert explained why there is excess fat in certain areas of the body.

Genetics is the biggest influence.

The formation of excess subcutaneous fat in the body is determined by many factors: it is mainly influenced by genetics, as well as diet and physical activity. It is not difficult to notice that the composition of each person is different, so even when you gain weight, those kilograms are distributed unevenly: for some they accumulate in the abdomen or thighs, and for others they are evenly distributed throughout the body and face. For the latter, this is not a problem, but for those who form an “apple” or fat figure settling on the thighs and buttocks, it causes discomfort, according to the press release.

In such cases, trying to do only problem-oriented physical exercise or change your diet does not necessarily solve the problem. Weight loss, health improvement, but the body contour does not change.

“It just came to our attention then. At first it may seem that even with a lot of effort, there is no change in the body. This is because our body first burns the calories we consume with food and drink, and only then can we get back our fat stores. So it takes a lot of time and intense physical activity to see the changes. Not everyone has that much patience, and in the end, even that doesn’t always help to achieve the desired result, “explains Audrius Pakulis, surgeon plastic and reconstructive from Nordclinic.

According to him, the way fat is distributed in the human body is very individual. Still, the most problematic area commonly referred to by plastic and reconstructive surgeons is the lumbar area.

Psychological and physical discomfort.

In such cases, when conventional solutions do not help, the desired result can be achieved through liposuction, also called liposuction. “It is a very delicate aesthetic procedure, especially suitable for cases in which we want to beautify the problem area or form a beautiful body contour. Also, to eliminate physical discomfort, “explains A. Pakulis.

And in fact, although the aforementioned problems are generally aesthetic in nature, they sometimes also cause physical discomfort. For example, if too much fat accumulates on the inside of your thighs, those thighs are in constant contact and sweating occurs, which can eventually lead to rashes or injuries. This is especially true during the hot season when we sweat the most. Finally, too much excess fat, for example, in the abdominal area causes complexes for more than one person: one begins to avoid undressing on the beach, wearing only loose and shapeless clothing.

Delete not too much

According to A. Pakulis, liposuction can be imagined as a three-dimensional space, where it is predicted where and how much adipose tissue should be removed. During the operation, the adipose tissue is gradually aspirated with feather movements using cannulas and the desired shape is obtained. There is little weight loss per se, but the result is perfectly visible.

Although liposuction is often thought to be for those who want to lose weight, this belief is not true. Removing excess oil from specific areas can cause excess loose skin. It also occurs when a person loses a lot of weight. “The skin has regenerative properties and tends to shrink slightly after weight loss, but how much it shrinks is very individual. As a result, the possible situation is always evaluated and the most effective solution is proposed. Liposuction is often combined with other procedures, such as removing excess skin, ”explains the plastic and reconstructive surgeon.

The doctor adds that for those who are already in good physical shape and have developed muscles, but want sharper muscle contours, high definition liposuction is intended for: “It is a liposuction method where the removal of small islands of fat forms or highlights existing body lines. This liposuction is most commonly used to highlight abdominal muscle groups, but it can also be done in other areas. “

R. Pakulis remembers that even after liposuction, people must choose a healthier lifestyle: be physically active, eat a balanced diet. This will help to keep the result achieved and to be healthy.
