Dr Aparna Govil Bhasker- Difference between bariatric surgery and liposuction

SN	BARIATRIC SURGERY	LIPOSUCTION
1	Bariatric surgery is a gastro-intestinal surgery in which the stomach size is reduced and bypass procedures the small intestines are rearranged.	Liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure in which superficial fat under the skin is sucked out. There is no change in the stomach size or rearrangement of the intestines
2	The mechanisms for weight loss are multiple and are due to decreased food intake, mal-absorption in bypass procedures, reduced hunger, hormonal effects, bile acid interactions, changes in the gut flora and other unknown mechanisms.	The weight loss is primarily due to suctioning out of fat from below the skin
3	The weight loss is usually massive and runs into 25 plus kgs. Patients may lose up to 70 to 80% of their excess weight loss which can even be up to 70 to 100 kgs depending on their initial body weight.	Liposuction is more of a body contouring procedure and leads to weight loss of less than 7 to 8 kgs maximum.
4	Bariatric surgery leads to overall weight loss from head to toe.	Liposuction leads to localized body contouring and not overall weight loss.
5	Weight loss surgery is maintained over a much longer period of time.	Weight regain is much faster and may happen as early as within 6 months of the procedure.
6	Bariatric surgery requires long term support, nutritional supplementation and follow up.	Liposuction does not require much nutritional support.
7	Bariatric surgery is meant for people who need to lose large amount of weight usually more than 25 to 30 kgs	Liposuction is a body contouring procedure only.
8	Bariatric surgery leads to improvement of associated co-morbidities like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, fatty liver, infertility, PCOS, gout, heart disease, dyslipidemia etc	Liposuction has very little bearing on associated diseases of obesity.
