Low-volume tumescent liposuction does not change plasma malondialdehyde levels: a preliminary study.
To evaluate the effects of low-volume tumescent liposuction on plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, a controlled clinical study was conducted. Venous blood samples were taken just before and 10 min after the completion of tumescent suction-lipectomy for 15 patients. The means +/- standard deviations for patients' data were as follows: of patients' age (29.81 +/- 13.2 years) aspirate volume (1,250 +/- 450 ml), and body mass index (24.5 +/- 1.2). There was no significant difference between the preoperative and postoperative plasma malondialdehyde levels (p > 0.05). The results show no evidence of increased lipoperoxidation in the systemic circulation during low-volume tumescent liposuction.
