Study: Liposuction lacks health benefits of non-surgical weight loss.
Byline: Tina Hesman
ST. LOUIS _ No diet, no exercise _ no health gains.
That's the skinny on preventing diabetes and improving heart health, according to a new study on liposuction from researchers at Washington University.
Dr. Samuel Klein, director of the Center for Human Nutrition at Washington University's School of Medicine, led a study to determine if removing large amounts of fat through liposuction could change metabolism and lead to improved health.
Losing weight through diet and exercise improves blood pressure, insulin response, and lowers cholesterol and other heart-damaging substances in the blood, Klein said. If merely shrinking fat cells through diet and exercise can produce such benefits, removing fat entirely should make immediate health improvements, he theorized. If it worked, liposuction could be a medical treatment for obesity and diabetes.
