Women gain weight and fat mass despite lipectomy at abdominoplasty and breast reduction

Abstract: Objectives: In animal models, fat removal results in compensatory weight gain. No study has reported measurement of weight following lipectomy in humans. We have examined changes in weight in patients who underwent lipectomy. Methods: In a retrospective analysis, 16 patients who had abdominoplasty and 17 patients who underwent bilateral breast reduction were compared with 16 patients who had carpal tunnel syndrome release. Following this, a prospective study was carried out on 7 subjects awaiting abdominoplast… Show more

“…Nevertheless, Rinomhota et al73 reported greater weight and body fat regain in subjects with a higher presurgery weight at 18 months after a large-volume liposuction plus abdominoplasty surgery. Experimental studies seem to support this hypothesis.…”

“…Nonetheless, the few studies that have made this attempt show controversial results. Rinomhota et al73 observed a substantial increase in body weight (+5%–6% of the pre-surgery weight) and total body fat (+16% of the presurgery fat mass) in overweight to obese women 18 months after a large-volume liposuction plus abdominoplasty surgery. In contrast, 2 months after abdominal liposuction or abdominoplasty in seven nonobese women, Lambert et al74 reported no changes in the regional fat distribution in nonoperated areas or in the fat cell size in femoral (nonoperated area) and abdominal regions (operated area).…”

“…Current pharmacologic or dietary therapies aimed at the reduction of obesity do not discriminate between subcutaneous and visceral adipose depots and are ineffective, especially in aging and disabled patients. Another critical shortcoming of these approaches is the poor compliance of patients to these regimens with inevitable attrition of therapeutic efficacy even after invasive bariatric and liposuction/lipectomy [21,22]. In the absence of effective treatment, obesity rates are increasing in epidemic proportions worldwide with 65 million more obese adults expected in the US alone by the year 2030 [23].…”

“…Alguns autores sugerem que o peso corporal pré-cirúrgico seja um importante fator determinante do reposição de peso e gordura corporal após a cirurgia, e que indivíduos obesos estão mais propensos a recuperar a gordura removida do que indivíduos eutróficos (BUENO et al, 2005;RINOMHOTA et al, 2008). Ao nosso conhecimento, nenhum estudo até hoje avaliou diretamente esta hipótese.…”
