Abstract

Aim: Liposuction, a prevalent plastic surgery procedure, has gained a significant popularity in recent years. Vitamin D, a crucial fat-soluble vitamin, plays a vital role in numerous metabolic pathways, with emerging importance beyond skeletal health. This study aims to assess vitamin D status before and after liposuction surgery and examine the impact of removed adipose tissue on serum 25(OH)D levels. Material and Method: This cross-sectional study included patients undergoing liposuction between January 2022 and February 2023. Criteria for inclusion and evaluation of vitamin D status followed established guidelines. Vitamin D status and serum 25(OH)D levels were assessed and measured on the follow-up points. Results: Participants (n=21) exhibited a significant decrease in BMI postoperatively. Serum 25(OH)D levels showed a decline, reaching the lowest in the 1st month post-surgery. The distribution of vitamin D status shifted postoperatively, with an increased incidence of deficiency. Conclusion: The study underscores the dynamic relationship between BMI, adipose tissue, and vitamin D levels following liposuction. Research has associated vitamin D deficiency with adverse surgical outcomes and emphasizes the need for monitoring this parameter in elective surgeries. Findings suggest a dynamic shift in vitamin D status post-liposuction, advocating for continuous monitoring and potential supplementation.

Liposuction Sonrası D Vitamini Durumundaki Dinamik Değişimler: Hasta İzleme ve Sağlık Açısından Etkileri

Abstract

Amaç: Yaygın bir plastik cerrahi işlemi olan liposuction son yıllarda önemli bir popülarite kazanmıştır. Yağda çözünen önemli bir vitamin olan D vitamini, iskelet sağlığının ötesinde önemi ortaya çıkan çok sayıda metabolik yolda hayati bir rol oynar. Bu çalışma, liposuction ameliyatı öncesi ve sonrası D vitamini durumunu değerlendirmeyi ve alınan yağ dokusunun serum 25(OH)D düzeyleri üzerindeki etkisini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışmaya Ocak 2022 ile Şubat 2023 arasında liposuction uygulanan hastalar dahil edildi. D vitamini durumunun değerlendirilmesine ilişkin kriterler, yerleşik yönergelere uygun olarak yapıldı. Takip zamanlarında D vitamini durumu ve serum 25(OH)D düzeyleri değerlendirilip ölçüldü. Bulgular: Katılımcıların (n=21) ameliyat sonrası vücut kitle indeksinde anlamlı bir azalma olduğu görüldü. Serum 25(OH)D düzeyleri düşüş göstererek ameliyat sonrası 1. ayda en düşük seviyesine ulaştı. D vitamini durumunun dağılımı postoperatif dönemde değişti ve eksiklik gözlenen bireylerin insidansı arttı. Sonuç: Çalışma, liposuction sonrası vücut kitle indeksi, yağ dokusu ve D vitamini düzeyleri arasındaki dinamik ilişkinin altını çizmektedir. Araştırmalar, D vitamini eksikliğini olumsuz cerrahi sonuçlarla ilişkilendirmiştir ve elektif ameliyatlarda bu parametrenin izlenmesi ihtiyacını vurgulamaktadır. Bulgular, liposuction sonrası D vitamini durumunda dinamik bir değişim olduğunu ve sürekli takip ve ihtiyaç durumunda takviye gereksinimini desteklemektedir.
