How to Maximize Your LAMS/ Liposuction Result!~

Hello, this is LipoMinac365! Last time, we discussed the two types of fat in the human body. Today, we’re diving deeper into why some people may not see the dramatic changes they expect after Liposuction or LAMS surgery.

As you may know, LAMS and Liposuction primarily target subcutaneous fat — the fat just beneath your skin. However, some individuals have a higher volume of visceral fat, which is much deeper and surrounds your internal organs. Unfortunately, this fat cannot be removed through LAMS or Liposuction procedures. During your consultation with the doctors at 365mc, they’ll often emphasize the importance of addressing visceral fat for better surgery results.

1. What is Visceral Fat?

Visceral fat is a type of fat that lies deep within the abdominal area, surrounding your internal organs such as the liver, intestines, and heart. While a certain amount of visceral fat is necessary to protect your organs, an excess of it can pose serious health risks.

2. What Causes Visceral Fat?

Visceral fat is influenced by both genetics and lifestyle factors. Genetics determine your body shape and fat distribution, but poor diet, lack of exercise, and high-stress levels can contribute to its accumulation. Stress, for example, triggers the release of cortisol, a hormone that encourages fat storage around the abdomen.

3. How is Visceral Fat Dangerous?

Excess visceral fat is often called “toxic fat” because it can release harmful chemicals and hormones into the bloodstream. This can increase the risk of developing conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and even stroke. It’s more harmful than subcutaneous fat due to its deeper location in the body.

4. How Can We Know if It’s Visceral Fat? (How to Measure It?)

• Waist measurement: For women, a waist circumference of 35 inches or more, and for men, 40 inches or more, indicates a higher risk of visceral fat.
• Body Mass Index (BMI): A BMI over 30 can be an indicator that visceral fat may be present.

5. How Can We Reduce Visceral Fat?

Luckily, visceral fat is more responsive to diet and exercise compared to subcutaneous fat. Here are some ways you can reduce it:

• Exercise: Incorporate both aerobic and strength-training exercises into your routine. Activities like brisk walking, cycling, or weightlifting can help target visceral fat effectively.
• Eat a balanced diet: Focus on whole foods, and avoid trans fats, refined sugars, and processed foods that encourage fat storage.
• Get enough sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep a night, as both insufficient and excessive sleep can contribute to visceral fat accumulation.
• Manage stress: Reducing stress levels can help lower cortisol and prevent the buildup of visceral fat.

While Liposuction and LAMS are effective in removing subcutaneous fat, addressing visceral fat is equally important for achieving optimal results. If you feel like your body hasn't changed as much as you'd hoped after surgery, it could be due to the presence of visceral fat. Working on your diet, exercise routine, and stress management can significantly enhance the results of your procedure and improve your overall health.
