So depending upon the Body Mass Index the obesity is classified. For a person’s normal weight or over weight and if the Body Mass Index is above 30 it is called as obese. If it is above 40 it is called as morbid obese and if it is above 50 it is called as super obese. Body Mass Index is calculated in terms of a person’s weight in kgs divided by the height, may be in terms of inches or in centimetres. Various formulations are there based on which we calculate the Body Mass Index. Here the importance of Body Mass Index. The persons who are less than 35 definitely fall into the category of liposuction. They need liposuction to manage their obesity. Along with that natural methods of exercise and diet i.e. natural healthy lifestyle. So, if the Body Mass Index is between 35 to 40, they have a choice to go for a staged liposuction or bariatric surgery. But once they cross the Body Mass Index 40 they are in need of bariatric surgery. These are all arbitrary lines, but we examine them, then take a practical decision. So give both the options. If at all they are crossing 40 then we educate them about both the options, pros and cons of both the procedures. Here the bariatric surgery is usually indicated for the Body Mass Index above 40 associated with uncontrolled diabetes or uncontrolled hypertension. Basically it is a metabolic surgery. Otherwise if it is less than 40 majority of them will adopt for liposuction.
