Discuss the safety and efficacy of liposuction as a means of body fat reduction
?Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that has little effect on body weight (less than 10 pounds), but it can alter body shape slightly in specific areas. Liposuction is a popular procedure in part because of its perceived safety, but immediate and delayed complications can arise. Removing adipose tissue by way of liposuction does not provide the health benefits that typically accompany weight loss. In other words, liposuction does not improve blood pressure, inflammation, blood lipid profile, or insulin sensitivity. Perhaps most surprisingly, a year after liposuction, body fat returns and redistributes itself from the thighs to the abdomen.
