Obesity is a medical condition characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the body, negatively impacting health. To determine whether someone is obese, dr. Ariek Desnantika, Sp.B.P.R.E., of akasia 365mc Surabaya, explained that this can be determined by looking at the Body Mass Index (BMI). A BMI exceeding 25 is considered obese.
Obesity isn't solely caused by overeating but is also influenced by various factors, such as poor eating habits, lack of physical activity, genetic factors, and a person's metabolism, which tends to store fat more easily. It can also be caused by psychological factors, such as stress, which leads to overeating, and environmental influences that make fast food readily accessible.
Obesity can be prevented by avoiding the aforementioned causes. If someone is already obese, it's best to consult a clinical nutrition specialist for an appropriate diet plan. For obese patients, akasia 365mc offers a solution, the LAMS liposuction method, which meets certain criteria.
What is the safe weight criteria for LAMS? dr. Ariek stated that there is no specific weight limit, but the most important thing is that the patient's obesity allows them to carry out daily activities and that they have no underlying medical conditions. If there are existing conditions, such as blood vessels or heart problems, LAMS should not be performed.
It's important to note that LAMS isn't actually for weight loss, but rather a solution to reduce the accumulated and bothersome fat in obese patients. For example, friction between the thighs and the accumulated fat can cause irritation, darkening, or moist chafing that can lead to fungal infections. These conditions can still be addressed with LAMS.
To achieve your ideal weight, dr. Ariek recommends making healthier lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and ensuring adequate sleep.
