Making you heart healthy can entail liposuction
Heart disease kills a myriad of people on an annual basis. Health care professionals know that extra weight in the stomach and waist areas can lead to an increased risk of developing heart disease.
Last year, doctors revealed the results of a study which showed that people who had liposuction performed on their stomachs experienced a decline in cholesterol levels, which decreased their risk of developing a heart disease in the future.
Liposuction shouldn’t be viewed as a substitute for a healthy diet and regular physical activity and is not the cure-all for heart problems. Instead, liposuction is a method that can remove fat in regions of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise. The stomach is a trouble spot for many people. Fat is gently removed from trouble spots through this minimally invasive plastic surgery. It requires local or general anesthesia depending on the amount of fat that will be eliminated.
A board certified liposuction practitioner will recommend the best method of fat removal for their clients. Keeping your heart healthy depends on a diet that is low in saturated fats and sodium along with reducing extra weight in the midsection. In addition to having a benefit on a person’s health, liposuction can also make a person look better.
