POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF ABDOMINAL LIPOSUCTION

Abdominal liposuction is very popular, however, abdominal liposuction may cause an increase in visceral fat or fat found inside your abdomen.  

An article that appeared in the July 2012 Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism studied 36 women who had small volume abdominal liposuction.

Half of the women 2 months post-op engaged in an exercise regimen and they were found to NOT have an increase in their visceral fat.  

This is good news because it is the visceral fat that is associated with heart disease.

It's the kind of information I am exposed to in my reading of medical literature, as I practice plastic surgery in Fort Myers/Cape Coral, Florida
