Final answer:

Liposuction is cosmetic, gastric banding aids weight loss, and gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy impact weight more significantly.


Explanation:

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that targets specific areas of the body to remove fat cells, primarily for aesthetic purposes rather than significant overall weight loss. On the other hand, gastric banding is a bariatric surgery that involves placing an adjustable silicone belt around the upper stomach to limit food intake, aiding in weight loss by inducing early satiety. Compared to procedures like gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy that alter the digestive system to impact weight, liposuction is more focused on cosmetic enhancement with minimal impact on overall body weight.
