There are various ways to measure obesity or classify obesity levels. There are two ways to measure obesity: anthropometry, which measures body size or dominance, and mechanical measurement, which directly measures body fat mass. There are many different body measurement methods, the representative method being body mass index (BMI). Body mass index refers to weight (kg) divided by the square of height (m) converted to meters (weight (kg)/(height (m))²). For example, the BMI of a woman with a height of 160cm and a weight of 55kg is ‘55/(1.6×1.6)m² = 21.48 kg/㎡’.
Obesity standards based on body mass index vary slightly from country to country. According to Asian standards, a BMI of less than 18.5 is considered underweight, and a range of 18.5 to 22.9 is considered normal. If it is 23 or more but less than 25, it is classified as overweight, if it is 25 or more but less than 30, it is classified as stage 1 obesity, if it is 30 or more but less than 35, it is classified as stage 2 obesity, and if it is 35 or more, it is classified as severe obesity.

Obesity according to body mass index

body mass index	division
underweight	less than 18.5
normal	18.5~22.9
overweight	23 or more but less than 25
stage 1 obesity	More than 25 but less than 30
stage 2 obesity	More than 30 but less than 35
severe obesity	over 35

*Asian standard.

However, people with excessive muscle mass, such as athletes, also have a high BMI, so diagnosing obesity solely based on BMI may result in errors. In other words, to determine body fat amount more accurately, a body composition analysis machine must be used.

You should also refer to the body fat mass or body fat percentage shown in the analysis test.
Obesity can also be measured by waist circumference. This is one of the body measurement methods and is used as an indicator reflecting the state of abdominal visceral fat. This is a way to measure where someone from the Prophet is halfway between the lowest fat and the highest fat from Glee. In Asian standards, men are classified as obese if they are over 90cm (about 36 inches), and women are over 85cm (about 33 inches).
The mechanical measurement method that directly measures body fat mass is a method that uses a body composition analyzer commonly called ‘BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis).’ It is also called electrical resistance measurement using the principle of conductivity differences between body components. To reduce errors, it is recommended to measure before exercising and to avoid water intake. Also, when measuring in the morning, it is recommended to measure after waking up.
Body fat percentage refers to the percentage of fat in the body. For example, even if your BMI is normal due to low muscle mass, if your body fat percentage is high, you may be close to obesity. The normal range of body fat percentage is 10-20% for men and 18-28% for women.
Abdominal obesity is measured through waist circumference rather than body fat percentage, and when visceral fat exceeds body composition, it is also called ‘abdominal obesity.’ A typical type of abdominal obesity is low muscle mass and high fat mass. This can be easily measured using a body composition analyzer.
The condition of insufficient muscle mass is called ‘Sarcopenic Obesity’, and in this case, exercise and improvement in eating habits are necessary.
Obesity is divided into several types depending on the type and cause. Unlike physical composition, obesity is often caused by physiological factors or lifestyle habits.
However, most cases where various factors such as eating habits and weight are combined have risk factors that are different from general obesity. In particular, in the case of visceral fat, abdominal obesity is the type of fat that accumulates from the scalp to the abdomen, and relatively little fat is collected. In adults, it is more concentrated in the abdomen than in adolescents and young adults. In other words, in the case of overweight or obese patients, abdominal fat is quite high, so it is better to plan health management by considering the distribution of abdominal fat.

Lose weight a little but gain size significantly

“How much weight will I lose if I get liposuction?”
Mr. Deungol asks with a voice full of anticipation. Not only Mr. Deungol, but other people also ask similar questions. If you don’t know the characteristics of the region, you can easily think that way. Usually, areas where excess weight is formed, such as the torso area, correspond to the area where the most fat is accumulated, and about 3,000 cc of fat is removed by suctioning the fat. Since 1,000 cc of water weighs about 1 kg, I assume the weight of fat is similar. Therefore, many people mistakenly believe that 3,000 cc of fat weighs about 3 kg. The expected weight loss through liposuction comes from these calculations.
“no. Even if you undergo liposuction, you will not lose much weight.”
“yes? “Is that really true?”
He clearly looks disappointed, but he still looks like he can only do geology. Fat is less dense than water and is very light compared to its volume. Based on pure fat, 1,000 cc of fat weighs about 300 to 400 g. Even if you remove 3,000cc of fat, you only gain about 1kg.
It is difficult to say that you have lost weight just because you have lost a lot. Weight loss of about 1 to 2 kg can vary depending on whether you eat or not. Therefore, to measure your weight accurately, it is best to wake up in the morning, urinate in light clothes, and then measure your weight. You must weigh yourself under the same conditions every day to avoid missing changes in weight.
There is no need to be disappointed if you lose a lot of weight through liposuction. This is because even if you do not lose a lot of actual weight, you can see similar effects every time you lose weight.

In the case of Mr. Stungol, who weighs 70kg, abdominal liposuction will make his body look similar to what it would have been if he had lost at least 5kg to 10kg.
The more you weigh, the greater the slimming effect after surgery can be. In my experience, a man who weighed close to 100kg underwent liposuction and saw the effect of losing about 20kg, as if his body changed to around 80kg.
It’s hard to believe unless you experience it yourself. Because fat is light and bulky, some people may look fatter and others less fat even if their weight is the same. This phenomenon occurs because the volume of muscle and fat in the abdomen is different.
Based on 1 kg of fat, the volume of fat is about 1.3 times larger than that of muscle. Some say that the difference in volume is 4 to 5 times, but in reality, the difference is not that much. For those who know that fat is 4 to 5 times larger than muscle, the 1.3 times difference may feel insignificant. However, the 1.3 times difference should not be taken lightly. Just this little difference can make a noticeable difference in your body shape.

No one goes on a diet simply to lose weight. The reason many women go on a diet to lose weight is to ultimately reduce their size. The desire to get rid of the label of being fat and become a slim woman may be the reason for everyone to undergo surgery.
Even if you haven’t lost weight, if your size has decreased, it’s the same as a successful diet. As a result of difficult weight loss, it gives just as much satisfaction as when the S shape is reduced. Mr. Deunggol was like that too. After sufficient consultation, the actual results obtained through fat and abdominal liposuction exceeded expectations. When it was visible that the bottom and abdomen gradually became thinner as the abdomen disappeared, everyone around me commented on the change. “Your waist looks great. There was also the saying, “Let’s go have fun,” but since liposuction changes your weight significantly, the changes in your body certainly look the same.

In the future, I want her body to change into a nice S-line shape. Her confidence is skyrocketing as she loses size and hears people around her say she has become thinner. I am confident that if I just add a little more weight to lose weight, I will be able to achieve a much better body than I have now.

If you are of standard weight, liposuction is more attractive.

Mr. Yang Ho-in is far from obese. He is not short at 165cm, weighs 58kg, and his body mass index can be said to be a standard weight that is more pleasing to the eye. Still, she always suffered from stress because of her diet. She was said to be thin until she was in her early 20s. However, as I entered my mid-20s, I started to feel a little tired.

Now that I am 29 years old, I have gained a total of 5 kg compared to my early 20s due to my middle stomach swelling. Those 5kg gain and my heart becomes uncomfortable.

When you look in the mirror, you may feel that nothing has changed, but your body is not what it used to be. It’s sad to get older and enter your 30s, but when your body starts to spread like this, it feels like you’re giving up your ambitions, which makes you anxious. I already live without being able to proudly show my stomach. It’s not that my stomach has grown much, but I just feel my stomach because I have a loaf of bread sticking out of my pants or skirt.

Getting older is inevitable, but I am working hard on my diet with the determination not to let go of my body. Eat regularly and try not to overeat. Even when you inevitably have to drink alcohol, eat mainly vegetables and fruits instead of high-calorie snacks whenever possible, and drink alcohol to avoid harm by removing carbonation.

However, I am not losing weight. I wish I had lost just 5kg, but I’m upset why I’m having a hard time losing that 5kg. After much consideration, Yang Ho-won decided to undergo liposuction. The decision was that I wanted to regain my old body shape by losing just 5kg.

People who weigh less, like Nurse Nurse, often find it difficult to lose weight. Although it is easy for a person weighing 100 kg to lose 20 kg, it is not easy for a person of normal weight to lose 5 kg. Maintaining a standard weight means constantly balancing how much you eat and how much you are active. The quickest way to lose weight is to reduce the amount you eat, and since liposuction has already been performed, there are limits to reducing the amount of food you eat. A person who used to eat two bowls of rice eats less than one bowl.

This means that it is not easy for someone who used to eat 2/3 of the latitude to reduce their intake to less than half the air.

Even if you don’t reduce the amount of food you eat, you must increase the amount of exercise to lose weight. However, as mentioned earlier, it is even more difficult to lose weight through exercise. If you continue to exercise intensely for several hours a day, you will lose weight, but it is not difficult or easy to exercise for that many hours. Therefore, the less a person weighs, the more difficult it is to lose weight.

Above all, for people of standard weight, size reduction is more important than weight loss.

Liposuction is the best way to achieve results. People of standard weight can see more than expected results even if they inhale a much smaller amount of fat than obese people. Even if you lose just a little bit of fat from the areas where you have a lot of flab, your body shape will change.

Nurse Yang’s liposuction results were very good. The slightly bulging abdomen, which did not include the abdomen or chin, and the slightly thick thighs and fat were cut out. After losing 1,600 cc from the abdomen and 1,700 cc from the thighs, she did not become completely slim, but not only Ms. Yang Ho-won, but also obese people tend to lose a lot of fat even if they are of average weight.

In addition, about half of the customers who want to slim down the face area undergo liposuction. There are quite a few who want to reduce the size and achieve a transparent, soft look. This is because areas that cannot be resolved no matter how hard you try can be more easily resolved through a method called liposuction.

Yo-yo worries and body image worries disappear along with fat.

Some people lose weight easily by losing a large amount of weight in a short period of time. Suji Oh is one of those people. Losing weight is not that difficult for her. I have a hot personality, so when I make up my mind, I tend to put it into action right away. I also have a strong will, so I am the type of person who pushes hard until I achieve my goal. Abstinence can be as simple as quitting drinking for a day or two.
The problem is that the easier it is to lose weight, the easier it is to gain it again. If you are naturally prone to gaining weight, you will return to your original weight if you let your guard down a little. In the meantime, I repeated the vicious cycle of dieting and yo-yoing countless times.
“If I feel like I’m going to gain weight quickly, I don’t have the motivation to go on a diet.”
She was essentially looking for a way to get rid of the yoyo. Then, someone told me that liposuction would not cause yo-yo spots, so I came to the hospital. Was Oh Soo-ji’s choice right?

More difficult to maintain than dieting

Anyone who has ever dieted knows this. It’s hard to lose weight, but it’s even harder to maintain it. Recently, as dieting has become a trend, similar diet survival programs have appeared on various public and cable TV channels.
The process of diet survival program participants losing weight is truly impressive. The motivation to participate brings tears to the eyes. Each and every story is unusual, including people who became obese by neglecting their bodies while overcoming difficult difficulties, people who became obese and developed social phobia, and people whose health was threatened to the point of life-threatening because of obesity.
The actual diet process is even more tearful. It is a process that seems impossible to endure with any amount of willpower, and the sight of dieting while constantly suffering and fighting with yourself in a process so difficult that you feel like giving up is even harrowing.
When I finally see them transformed into completely different people, emotions come flooding back to me like a tsunami. The contestants cry with emotion, the diet mentors who helped them cry, and the viewers who watch the contestants endure and eventually succeed in dieting also cry along with them.
However, the story after that is not all bright. Among the participants in the program

There were some people who maintained their relationship well after it ended and lived a vibrant new life, but there were many more who did not. While participating in the program, he tolerated the intense exercise and diet well, but he found it difficult to manage himself, so he gained weight again. The more desperate people are about why they need to lose weight, the more difficult it is for those who lose weight through diet to maintain it, not to mention the general public.

Maintaining this weight loss is more difficult than losing weight. Just as failing to lose weight due to an inability to suppress one’s appetite cannot be dismissed as simply a lack of willpower, not all problems of not maintaining lost weight can be attributed to an individual’s lack of will.

You can lose weight by strictly controlling your diet and exercising temporarily for a few months. However, it would be difficult for anyone to endure if they had to live their whole life like they were on a strict diet. It is no exaggeration to say that dieting in the true sense begins after losing weight.

Therefore, when dieting, it is wise to choose a diet method that is easy to continue even after weight loss and has a low risk of yo-yoing, rather than a method that has a one-time effect or a large immediate effect.
