Would Liposuction Help Me with Diabetes Weight Control?
I have diabetes and a doctor said it could be helpful to get rid of extra fat from liposuction. This would make me manage diabetes better. Would you agree?
Liposuction will not likely help Diabetes
Liposuction does not make significant differences in overall weight and usually only changes your total body fat levels by small amounts. Because of this, it is unlikely that you will get any improvement in blood sugar control from liposuction. Weight loss and diet are better ways to help control this Type 2 Diabetes. I hope this helps.
Liposuction is a surgical body contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Modern techniques include tumescent liposuction, power-assisted liposuction (PAL), and ultrasound-assisted liposuction (VASER). Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure — it is a contouring tool for shaping the body.
When evaluating any cosmetic procedure, choosing a surgeon who operates in an accredited surgical facility is one of the most important safety decisions a patient can make.
