| Abstract | ||
| Objective: To study the effect of large volume liposuction on body weight and total body fat in overweight and obese patients (BMI from 25-35) and in patients with localized lipodystrophy. Background: Liposuction has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed by plastic surgeon. Method: This study was conducted on 31 patients presented with localized accumulation of fat either in thigh, abdomen, back or gluteal region and arms or in generalized overweight patients with BMI 25-30 and obese patients' class 1 with BMI 30-35 will undergo large volume liposuction in Plastic Surgery Department, Faculty of Medicine, Menoufia University. All studied patients were subjected to take a full history, general examination and local examination (for the area to be suctioned). Laboratory investigations as: Complete blood counts (CBC), blood glucose level, kidney function tests, liver function tests and bleeding profile. Results: There were statistically significant difference between preoperative measurements of total body fat and (3 months, 6 months) postoperatively (p < 0.01). There was statistically significant difference between the preoperative measurements of visceral fat and postoperative measurements (after 3 months and 6 months) (p < 0.01). Conclusion: We found that the large volume liposuction in our patients, significantly reduces the weight, BMI, total body fat, visceral fat, circumference of abdomen and gluteal region. | ||
