ABSTRACT
Rationale: Beyond its aesthetic purpose,
liposuction might influence global as well as
regional indicators of the subject´s adiposity on
the medium term.
Objective: To assess the
impact of liposuction upon post-operatory
behavior of body weight, Body Mass Index
(BMI), and waist and hip circumferences.
Study design: Retrospective, analytical.
Study serie: Fifty non-obese subjects (Women: 86.1%; Average age: 34.1 ± 7.4 years) in whom
liposuction was performed by the “superwet” method. Maximal volume of aspirated subcutaneous fat was fixed at 2,500 mL.
Methods: Body weight, BMI, and waist and hip
circumferences were measured 7 days before
liposuction, and 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days
after completing the procedure. Change in the
anthropometric variable regarding preoperatory
value was calculated in each instance of
observation.
Results: Small albeit significant
changes were observed in the anthropometric
variables 24 hours after liposuction was
completed. These changes were more
accentuated as post-surgical evolution
prolonged. Post-surgical behavior of
anthropometric variables was independent from
volume of aspirated subcutaneous fat.
Conclusions: Liposuction does not produce
important changes in the subject's body weight.
Observed changes in waist and hip
circumferences might be explained, in part,
because of the withdrawal of subcutaneous fat
from deposition sites at the abdomen.
