Liposuction in Toronto

In Mauritania, a country in northwest Africa, traditional views of obese women are remarkably favourable. According to customs, obese women are considered more beautiful than women of normal weight. Women tipping the scales are perceived as wealthier, more attractive and more fertile. Husbands of obese women are also perceived as being caring.

At a young age, girls are encouraged, and sometimes “force fed” to consume larger quantities of food to gain weight. Some are even sent to camps where they are put on a diet of fattening foods with plenty of rest between meals, so that weight gain is facilitated and expedited. The trend is most prominent amongst Moor Arabs, however the tradition is slowly decreasing in popularity.

This type of weight gain is, needless to say, unhealthy. It can cause the accumulation of abnormal quantities of fat, located both viscerally and subcutaneously. Visceral fat cannot be treated with liposuction, nor can women who are morbidly obese since the risks related to any type of surgery increase exponentially.
