Liposuction and bariatric surgery are very different. Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes fat from specific body areas like the stomach or thighs to improve shape, but it doesn’t treat obesity or reduce long-term weight.

Bariatric surgery, on the other hand, is a medical treatment for obesity that changes how your body digests food and controls hunger hormones, helping you lose weight permanently and improve diabetes, BP, and heart health.

In short, liposuction is for body contouring, while bariatric surgery is for treating obesity as a disease.
