Beyond the obvious cosmetic effects, recent research indicates that liposuction procedures may also have several other far-reaching benefits.

Liposuction Beneficial to Your Heart?

Besides shedding fat, liposuction patients also could be lowering the risk of contracting heart disease. A large study conducted on as many as 300 liposuction patients and presented in ASPS’s Denver Conference indicate a 43% reduction in triglycerides or “bad fats” post-procedure. While there were no noticeable drops in the patients’ cholesterol levels, the research returned conclusive evidence of reduction in white blood cell counts, meaning a reduced change of obesity, strokes, high blood pressure and cardiac arrests.

Liposuction has always been regarded as a cosmetic procedure, curing your fat and your ego only; which is why a study like this, revealing satisfactory benefits beneath the skin too is absolutely ground-breaking. It suggests that you could look and be healthier all at once after having taken the first step, undergone the surgery and then staying fit thereon.

It is however noteworthy that this study is the only one of its kind that has been published, and that all research in the beneficial aspects of liposuction is still in its preliminary stages. More evidence is being collected, quantified and understood, and there is no doubt that doctors will soon be able to shed light on the big picture, and then recommend it to their patients without a shadow of a doubt.
