Improvements in Cardiovascular Risk Profile with Large-Volume Liposuction: A Pilot Study

The Effects of Liposuction Removal of Subcutaneous Abdominal Fat on Lipid Metabolism are Independent of Insulin Sensitivity in Normal-Overweight Individuals

“…However, in most studies, AL did not have prominent metabolic effects in terms of insulin sensitivity and pro-inflammatory adipo-cytokines [18][19][20]; nevertheless, some authors have reported transient benefits [21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Further, the impact of liposuction on FFA and, particularly, in the lipid and lipoprotein profile is not yet fully documented, the available results being either incomplete or inconsistent [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

C-Reactive Protein Decrease After Postbariatric Abdominoplasty

“…Otherwise, a stable nutritional biochemical pattern was documented throughout the observation period (Table 2). Table 3 summarizes the findings from the literature concerning the impact of liposuction and abdominoplasty on metabolic variables [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…Alleviation of systemic inflammation and insulin resistance has been reported by some researches, whereas in certain studies, the improvement of plasma lipids has been confirmed [4][5][6][7][8]. In contrast, no changes in insulin action and cardiovascular risk factors have been noticed by other studies [9,10].…”

Laser lipolysis and laser‐assisted liposuction

“…No significant change in triglycerides and lipid profiles among patients treated with laser lipolysis or any other liposuction procedure has been reported either short-or long-term [22,38]. In fact, it appears that serum lipids may decrease several months after liposuction [39,40]. Several measures have been reported to enhance the safety of laser lipolysis and specifically reduce thermal injury.…”
