What about the mildly to seriously overweight individuals who opt to have liposuction surgery in spite of the fact that it is not a legitimate weight loss method? Oftentimes, these individuals face yet another unwanted and unexpected complication-the return of fatty deposits after having gone through the hassle of liposuction. Few people are aware that animal studies have shown that when a large quantity of fat is removed from one area of the body causing a decrease in fatty tissue, the levels of fat elsewhere in the body increases in order to compensate for the loss.

Removal of large amounts of fat causes a sudden drop in the body’s leptin levels. In animal studies, this decrease resulted in an increase in food intake and decrease in activity until leptin levels could be brought back up to normal standards. For leptin levels to normalize at this point, fat must increase in order to produce the necessary amounts of leptin.

Those individuals who have the most difficulty after liposuction surgery are the morbidly obese who have large amounts of fat removed from their bodies. The result is a compensatory fat increase in remaining fat cells and the new fat goes to areas where there are still a lot of fatty tissue, such as the neck and upper abdomen. Besides, even after the surgery, the underlying cause of their obesity is still left untreated. Removal of fat cells through liposuction surgery does not address the real issue. Therefore, liposuction for the obese is little more than a prescription for disaster.

Doctors and surgeons are now debating whether or not ultrasonic liposuction can cause irreversible damage to a patient’s genes. It is the opinion of some of these professionals that ultrasonic vibrations have the very real potential to alter human DNA and cause mutations within the chromosomes. Currently, there is little research or evidence to support this theory, nor is there any information available that can positively debunk these speculations. However, scientists are finding it useful and informative to study ultrasonic energy and its potentially hazardous side effects for the purpose of determining whether or not ultrasonic technology poses an unacceptable public safety hazard.
