Understanding BMI: What You Need to Know Before Liposuction? | Venkat Center Bangalore

In this video, Dr. Aniketh Venkataram, a distinguished plastic surgeon at Venkat Center in Bangalore, discusses the connection between Body Mass Index (BMI) and liposuction.

Body mass index is a value derived from the mass and height of a person. The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height. It is an excellent indicator of overall health, categorized into four main ranges: below 18.5 signifies being underweight; 18.5-25 is considered normal and reflects good health; 25-30 indicates overweight; and above 30 is defined as obese.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure targeted at removing difficult-to-lose, stubborn fat. It is most effective for those with a BMI in the normal range of 18.5-25. Individuals with a BMI between 25 and 30 also make good candidates, while those below 18.5 or above 30 are typically advised against liposuction as it is not a weight loss solution but may be considered in specific cases.

It’s crucial to understand that liposuction is just part of the solution. Long-term success requires lifestyle adjustments, including a balanced diet and regular exercise to maintain results. If calorie intake exceeds what is burnt, the fat is likely to reaccumulate. We hope you find this video helpful; please subscribe for more informative content.
