Have any surgeons considered using Liposuction as a treatment approach for Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome?

Dear fruitfly05,

PCOS has many variants. The signs and symptoms of PCOS range from
hirsutism to body weight gain and hormonal and ovulatory irregularities.

Following the RPCOS with a certified
endocrinologist and/or gynecologist is critical. The subcutaneous fat gain that can be
associated with PCOS and other endocrine systems can respond to liposuction,
however, the improvement will be in figure, shape and form, but not in decrease
in the hormonal irregularities associated with the syndrome. Liposuction and PCOS just as in diabetes or
patients with hypertension can improve contour and shape, but should not be
viewed as a weight loss technique and certainly not one that would correct any
hormonal imbalances.

I applaud you for your weight loss
and attention to exercise and dietary management is critical and liposuction
should be used only for shaping where necessary.

I hope this information is of some
assistance and best of luck.
