Liposuction does not appear to make you healther

Though this is a small study and of women only, it
suggests that it is the process of weight gain (or loss)
that causes health problems (or benefits) not the fact of
being fat (or slim).

Conclusions Abdominal liposuction does not significantly
improve obesity-associated metabolic abnormalities.
Decreasing adipose tissue mass alone will not achieve the
metabolic benefits of weight loss.

What is removed in liposuction is not *visceral* adiposity.

There's a lot of research showing that fat in different
places affects body chemistry in different ways. Sucking out
superficial fat in one region may not be comparable to
losing fat throughout the body--almost certainly isn't.

Yes. That is a possibility.

Visceral fat is that which accumulates around the gut, in
the liver, and around the heart.

That which you carry "around the middle" if you have an "apple-
shaped" body indicates the amount of visceral fat you
probably have.

This visceral fat is not removed with liposuction and
is what ultimately causes insulin resistance and
vascular problems.

Hope the above information proves helpful.

It has always been my speculation or suspicion that the
visceral fat would be disproportionately affected by
increased caloric consumption after liposuction. (After a
friend commented on a liposuction-pioneering family member's
odd fat pattern when regaining weight.) The fat cells
remaining would be the only ones affected, and the fat cells
inside the body cavity would logically be expected to cause
problems as they increase in volume.
