Large-volume liposuction is a procedure that can remove substantial amounts of subcutaneous fat, including fat from the localized fat depot that has many biochemical features reminiscent of those found in the visceral adipose tissue that is tightly linked to the conditions of syndrome X. Liposuction and lipectomy have been used in some cases as adjuncts to more established bariatric surgery, and recent developments have raised the possibility of the utility of liposuction as a primary surgical option for obesity management. The effects of large-volume liposuction on AVD risk still require intensive, detailed investigation as there are two opposing theories as to what happens to AVD risk following this procedure. On the basis of clinical and animal data it appears that there is a threshold effect: where removal of excessive subcutaneous fat may result in AVD risk improvement, while removal of significantly greater amounts may result in deleterious effects. Clear definition of what determines this threshold in the individual patient is an important issue that needs to be resolved. The results of ongoing human and animal studies on this subject are eagerly awaited. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
