The studies tend to show that the risk factors of fat stores are concentrated in the omental fat, or the fat around the intestines underneath the muscle wall where liposuction doesn't reach. Liposuction has risks, and although its safety has been documented well in many medical reports, diabetics have more risk and it may not be a wise decision to undergo the procedure, especially if the blood sugar is not well controlled.
Hi there-In all but one of the research studies on fat and diabetes, it has been shown that it is the fat you carry internally (next to your internal organs) that contributes to your risk of diabetes the most.The fat under your skin (and therefore accessible to liposuction) is not as significant.Liposuction by itself will not, therefore, lower your risk of diabetes, correct your diabetes, or allow you to reduce your insulin requirements.Your very best bet is to pursue a healthier weight through diet and exercise. I agree that the physician managed programs are best for patients like yourself.
There was only one study, of which I am aware, that showed this. Other studies have not supported this. Therefore, I would not perform this procedure and inform a patient that this is a possibility but not likely nor the intended purpose for the procedure.
No scientific studies have been done with enough stats to accept this hypothesis. Be careful out there. Liposuction may improve the diabetes but I really do not know. Regards.
Liposuction cannot be done on the fat INSIDE the belly (IE VISCERAL / Omentum fat). It can only be done on the fat under the skin. Obesity associated diabetes is NOT a medically recognized indication for liposuction and liposuction is NOT a treatment for obesity. Your best bet is an aggressive, doctor supervised regimen of diet and exercise.
Thank you for your question. It is hard to provided with a valid medical opinion without photos. I would suggest to be treated by board certificated plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results. Kind Regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
You are really talking about two things that are normal. The feet do swell as a result of compression garments and retained fluid from surgery- this is normal and resolves over time. Keep the feet elevated to expedite resolution of swelling. The hardness is called induration and is really...
I actually was the guinnea pig for my parner and it was very easy to go through. I have no real pain, just some bruised feeling and actually had very little bruising itself. There is the risk of loose skin so it is important that the person who is doing it know if you are a good candidate or not...
Every patient has a different pain tolerance, and the amount of pain greatly depends on how aggressive the liposuction procedure was. Overall, I would say this procedure is not extremely painful. Liposuction feels similar to the soreness you experience after an aggressive workout. I've never had...
Liposuction does not directly correlate with an inherent ability to remove a X number of inches off your waist. Rather, it is a contouring tool that will plane the fat under the skin to allow the skin to drape closer to the underlying muscles. To best get an idea of how much fat it can remove...
Hi. Sounds like you have a seroma after liposuction. This should be aspirated right away. It may require several aspirations. If not treated aggressively, it can become a lump of internal scar tissue.
