Can liposuction be used to treat obesity?
No, liposuction cannot be used to treat obesity. Liposuction removes localized areas of fat from specific areas of your body. However, it is not a full-body weight loss method. While the fat removed by liposuction is permanently gone, your body can regrow fat in the areas from which it was removed. Obesity is a complex condition, and its treatment should consist of a combination of diet, exercise, behavioral modification, and, based on the individual case, medication or surgery.
