Summary A new study suggests that obesity may increase after liposuction with gaining some fat.
Brazilian researchers found that within months of abdominal liposuction, there may be an increase in the so-called visceral fat that surrounds the abdominal organs.But the good news, they say, is that regular exercise may prevent that deep fat from forming.Fat is not inert tissue, said study leader Fabiana Benatti, of the University of Sao Paulo.Visceral fat is particularly undesirable because its more closely connected to the risks of type 2 diabetes and heart disease, versus the superficial abdominal fat just under the skin.The current study, according to Benattis team, appears to be the first to give compelling evidence that visceral fat builds up after liposuction -- at least if you dont exercise.
