After liposuction, is there an increased chance of heart attack due to more fat in the blood stream that cannot be deposited in treated body parts anymore?
Answer: No Increase Risk of Heart Attack After Liposuction Fortunately, there is no increase in heart attack risk of heart attack after liposuction. This should not effect the levels of fat in your bloodstream. In fact there is some preliminary data that indicates just the opposite may occur with reduction in pre-diabetic indicators caused by being overweight. On the other hand, if you overeat following liposuction you will store fat as you did before. This weight gain can lead to pre-diabetic increases in blood pressure, triglycerides and VLDL(very low density lipoproteins) all of which increase your risk of heart disease and eventually to Diabetes (a very big risk factor for a multitude of diseases). This is not related to the liposuction but rather weight gain Most of my patients who have liposuction are motivated by their new appearance to watch their diet closely and they don't often gain weight afterwards. More often, they describe they are less hungary and tend to reduce their weight moderately. This makes the overall result that much better.

Answer: Heart Attack and Liposuction There is no direct correlation between the two. You must keep in mind that the patient has to be healthy and in good shape before undergoing any cosmetic procedure, whether it is liposuction, rhinoplasty or breast augmentation. A heart attack can happen at any time during any procedure while the patient is under general anesthesia. Hope that answers your question.

Answer: Risks after Liposuction This is a very interesting question, but I'm not aware of the risk of heart attacks being any higher after liposuction. Regular exercise and a healthy diet are key in preventing heart attacks both before and after any cosmetic procedures, including liposuction. If you gain weight after liposuction, the excess fat will most likely be deposited in the hips, buttock, and abdominal regions. Eating this excess fat may increase your cholesterol which may, in turn, lead to an increased risk of a heart attack. So, follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly and you should be okay afer liposuction.

Answer: Risks of ANY surgery Hansi, The risk of heart attack is present with any surgery. It is primarily due to the stress that is place on the heart by stress hormones that are produced and fluid shifts that occur from surgery, not due to fat in the bloodstream. For this reason, most elective, cosmetic surgery procedures are reserved for healthy individuals. Good luck!

Answer: Liposuction and heart disease No one, to my knowledge, has ever performed this study. There is one study that did show the opposite (indirectly). Diabetics who had liposuction and reduced their body fat demonstrated less insulin resistance. Complications of diabetes include caridovascular disease. However, this does not mean that liposuction should be used to treat diabetes.
