Abdominoplasty in Mildly Obese Patients (BMI 30-35 kg/m2): Metabolic, Biochemical and Complication Analysis at One Year.

Abstract

Abdominal dermolipectomy is a safe surgical procedure that improves the quality of life of previously obese patients from an aesthetic functional view. A statistically significant increase of adiponectin after the procedure was found. A low level of adiponectin after surgery indicates a higher probability of complications.
