Obesitas Sentral dan Pendekatan Pengobatan yang Tepat

The primary cause of central obesity is visceral fat, which accumulates around the abdominal organs and causes severe metabolic problems. Addressing visceral fat is challenging as it cannot be resolved solely through willpower. Globally, the success rate of reducing visceral fat through diet and exercise is less than 8%, largely due to the difficulty in sustaining lifestyle and dietary changes. According to a study published in the International Journal of Obesity, long-term adherence to dietary and exercise regimens remains a significant barrier, contributing to this low success rate.

In particular, middle-aged men and postmenopausal women face unique challenges in managing central obesity. Middle-aged men often have well-developed muscle mass, making it harder to address visceral fat issues through exercise alone. Similarly, postmenopausal women experience hormonal changes that promote fat accumulation in the abdominal area, further complicating weight management. Without incorporating dietary changes, achieving meaningful results is difficult, making dietary improvements a critical task.

For individuals who find it challenging to maintain long-term dietary changes, drug therapies and the latest injectable medications can offer effective alternatives. Recently introduced injectables such as GLP-1 medications are highly effective in reducing visceral fat and facilitating weight loss. These medications enhance satiety and suppress appetite, delivering remarkable results in combating visceral fat.

Note: In the U.S., the monthly cost of Wegov- is approximately $1,300. A study published in NEJM reported that over 60% of patients who discontinued its use regained weight within a year.

At Evita Clinic, these cutting-edge injectables are available for purchase and integrated into treatment plans. However, these medications are costly, and there is a high likelihood of weight regain after discontinuation. Therefore, it is crucial to maximize the benefits of these treatments by combining them with sustainable dietary habits and regular exercise.

Dr. Francis Jeon dari Evita Clinic, seorang spesialis yang sangat berpengalaman dalam obesitas dan kontur tubuh, menekankan pentingnya pendekatan bertahap ketika mempertimbangkan sedot lemak perut.

Dr. Jeon menjelaskan, “Jika sedot lemak dilakukan tanpa mengatasi lemak visceral, bola olahraga yang besar hanya akan menjadi bola olahraga yang lebih kecil.

Pikirkan Sinterklas memangkas jasnya tetapi menyimpan semua isian di dalamnya—itu bukan transformasi yang kita tuju!” Lemak visceral memainkan peran penting dalam keseluruhan proses pengobatan karena aktif secara metabolik dan berkontribusi pada peradangan sistemik, resistensi insulin, dan gangguan metabolisme lainnya. Dengan mengatasi lemak visceral terlebih dahulu, fondasi untuk hasil yang efektif dan tahan lama ditetapkan, membuat prosedur selanjutnya seperti sedot lemak jauh lebih berdampak. Dia menganjurkan untuk menyelesaikan lemak visceral terlebih dahulu sebelum melanjutkan dengan sedot lemak.

1. Address Visceral Fat: The initial step involves improving dietary habits and utilizing injectables like GLP-1 medications to reduce visceral fat. This process transforms the firm gym ball-like abdomen into a looser, sack-like form. Addressing the underlying issue of visceral fat is a critical priority.
2. Remove Subcutaneous Fat: Once visceral fat has been significantly reduced, liposuction or a tummy tuck can be performed to remove sagging skin and subcutaneous fat. Liposuction helps sculpt a smooth and firm abdominal contour, and if necessary, a tummy tuck can eliminate excess skin. These procedures enable patients to achieve a six-pack, which not only enhances their physical appearance but also contributes to better core strength, posture, and overall metabolic health. By reducing abdominal fat and strengthening the core, patients experience improved physical function and reduced risks of obesity-related illnesses, making the transformation both aesthetic and health-focused. This transformative outcome boosts satisfaction and encourages long-term commitment to exercise and health management.

Manfaat Pasca-Sedot Lemak

1. Peningkatan Tingkat Metabolisme Basal: Massa otot yang lebih besar meningkatkan konsumsi kalori harian, mengurangi kemungkinan berat badan bertambah kembali.

3. Peningkatan Kesehatan: Olahraga yang konsisten meringankan gangguan metabolisme seperti diabetes dan hipertensi, meningkatkan kesehatan secara keseluruhan.

Siklus positif ini memungkinkan pasien untuk bergerak melampaui penurunan berat badan, mempertahankan fisik dan gaya hidup yang sehat dan bugar. Jadi, bahkan Sinterklas bisa menukar karung hadiahnya dengan six-pack dengan pendekatan yang tepat!
