A recent study reported at the American Society for Plastic Surgeons annual meeting revealed an interesting benefit from a popular plastic surgery procedure.
Not only does liposuction smooth out curves and cinch in the waistline, it might also decrease your risk for heart disease, by lowering triglyceride levels significantly.
The study examined 322 liposuction patients, and 3 months following the procedure, found their triglycerides lowered by an average of 43 percent.
Dr. Eric Swanson, a plastic surgeon in Kansas, told MSNBC, “It made sense that if you reduced fat mass that might reduce circulating triglycerides, but I didn’t think the effect on the body’s fat scores would be enough to make a significant difference in triglycerides. A 43 percent drop in triglycerides was dramatic and surprising.”
