Also, medications that promote a normal work of hormones enter this class.

The third method of obesity treatment is surgical. If speaking about a surgical way of obesity treatment, here, first of all, we come to liposuction. In the frame of liposuction, superfluous fat storage under the skin is removed. Fairly often, people prefer abdominoplasty that is the removal of a sagged part of the stomach. Gastric rings are also applied in the modern surgery. At this procedure, rings are imposed on the stomach, reducing its volume. It leads to that a patient eats much less.

Obesity or Plastic Surgery

All chunk and well-fad people wish to become thin, thus, many wish to get thin very quickly and not to think about the way very hard. Businessmen, famous stars, politicians and other very busy people cannot just have much time to spend on losing weight, for example, to go to gym. Except for all that, the majority of people have a very good appetite, and they, not at any price, will refuse their nutritional temptations such as pizzas, spaghetti, chocolates, cakes.

Liposuction is an operation on the removal of superfluous fatty storage. Now, there are some kinds of liposuction. At the beginning, the plastic surgery was carried out without administration of any medication into hypodermic fatty cellular tissue. A patient was anesthetized, then, incised where an acus-cannula shall be inserted, and by means of a large syringe or a liposuctor (instrument for suction) fat was removed. Later, surgeons started to anesthetize preliminary a liposuction zone before an operative intervention.

A more progressive and safe technique of modern liposuction includes the administration of a special solution into fatty tissues which, first, anesthetizes, secondly, narrows vessels and by that reduces to the minimum the risk of bleeding during the operation. Thirdly, the solution acts by dividing fatty cells and assists exsufflation (pump-out), and the soda that is a part of the solution reduces the danger of developing fatty embole (entering of fat drops into the vascular system).

At preset ultrasonic liposuction is considered the most fashionable. After the administration of a solution by means of a cannula with a special ultrasonic nozzle break down hardened assemblies of fatty cells, that considerably promotes the process of removing fat. You can not only get rid of a fatty fabric, but to move it within the limits of a certain area. Such a correction is named liposculpture.

In plastic surgery, liposuction is considered the most complex and dangerous operation. During an operation the surgeon works not only with a cannula and liposuctor, but also softens fat, breaking its structure mechanically, levels irregularities and hollows, and then fixes new forms with a special bandage.

There exists one more method of body modeling or transplantation of fatty fabrics. Fat is taken away not with a liposuctor but a syringe, and then it is cleared and makes a transplant. Autofat is not torn away by the body, and results are kept for at least 3-4 years. More often lipomodeling is used for correction of a human face: filling up the volume of cheekbones, removal of sulculars and wrinkles, expansion of a chin, correction of various pathologies.
Xenical (Orlistat) is the most active and best-selling diet medication, primary used to treat obesity and promotes weight loss by lowering concentration of fat by the guts, which cut down the amount of calories you ingest.

Starvation Efficacy in Weight Loss

Starvation is a very effective and perficient way to grow thin, but, at the same time, is one of the most dangerous and potentially harmful to your health.

As food does not practically enter your stomach (drinks are only permitted without restrictions: mineral water, herbal teas, vegetable decoctions of a weak concentration), are actively burn all fatty tissues, including reserve ones.

Your weight decreases very intensively, growing thin is noticeable in a week of starting to starve. Short or one-day starvations give a good unloading effect that detoxifies the body.

First, an incorrectly fulfilled starvation can lead to the most serious consequences: weakness of the immune system and, as a consequence, various infectious and cold diseases; stomach upset, infertility, nervous system disorders, weakness of mental abilities; and, secondly, an exit from starvation is a complex process, demanding special safety measures. Thirdly, a complete type of starvation leads to burning not only fat but also muscular tissues, resulting in faded muscles, decrease in elasticity of the skin, wrinkles. Quite often there are failures of starvation when a person does not maintain a long refusal in food and starts to overeat.

To stick to starvation requires an extreme cautiousness. Only short one-day starvations are admissible without medical supervision. Starvation should not burden you. If starvation is difficult for you, the next day a person tries to catch up for yesterday. As a result the effect comes to zero. Longer starvations need to be executed just under supervision of the doctor which is better in the clinic. And what more important is to stop starvation correctly.
