These results corroborate the evidence from experimental and clinical studies , which support fat redistribution and compensatory fat growth , as a result of feedback mechanisms , triggered by fat removal .
Adipose tissue is considered as an endocrine organ , which is developed in specific depots , distinguished either as subcutaneous or visceral .
Lipectomy , by means of liposuction or abdominoplasty , is a common plastic surgery procedure , which can remove substantial amounts of subcutaneous fat .
This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of surgical removal of abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue on  body weight and fat mass in females in the short- and long-term .
C-Reactive Protein Decrease After Postbariatric Abdominoplasty
In a prospect i ve study , indices of glucose homeostasis , lipid profile , and systemic inflammation were monitored after an  aesthetic abdominoplasty  , aim ing to scrutinize the possible metabolic benefits for abdominal fat removal . Premenopausal females with substantial weight loss ( N = 40 ) undergoing circumferential abdominoplasty ( index group , n = 20 ) or augmentation mammoplasty with mastopexy ( controls , n = 20 ) were recruited . All of them originally underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass .  Variables included BMI , white blood cell count , C-reactive protein , hemoglobin , total cholesterol and fractions , triglycerides , glucose , and HbA1c . Follow-up reached 20.3 ± 13.6 months for index cases and 29.5 ± 17.4 months for controls . The metabolic and inflammatory indices improved after the bariatric surgery . Subsequent monitoring indicated a stable body weight and biochemical profile in both groups . The exceptions were HDL cholesterol and C-reactive protein , which respectively increased and diminished after the abdominoplasty , consistent with an inflammatory and metabolic advantage for this operation . This is the first long-term study in a weight-stable population to point out such a pattern after abdominoplasty
