Summary

Liposuction surgery is common, yet animal and limited human data suggest that fat returns when removed. This study was designed as a 1-year randomized-controlled trial of suction lipectomy versus no intervention to determine if adipose tissue is defended, and if so to determine the anatomic pattern of redistribution.

Conditions

  • Disproportionate Shape
  • Expanded Fat Pads

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Standard of Care with Liposuction

Standard of Care encompasses body composition measurements, a euglycemic clamp and fat biopsies, followed by Liposuction surgery.

OTHER

Standard of Care without Liposuction

Standard of Care encompasses body composition measurements, a euglycemic clamp and fat biopsies. Liposuction surgery will not be performed.
