72: The Truth About Liposuction and Its Health Impact, with Dr. Ben Bikman

Learn more about becoming an Insider on my website: https://www.benbikman.com In this Metabolic Classroom episode, Dr. Ben Bikman explores the topic of liposuction, its prevalence, and the biological implications of fat removal through this cosmetic surgery. He notes that liposuction remains one of the most popular cosmetic procedures globally, especially among women, reflecting a continued societal obsession with leanness despite rising obesity rates. Dr. Bikman emphasizes the importance of understanding body fat’s physiological roles, which include energy storage, hormone regulation, and organ protection. He also highlights the unique fat distribution in women, driven by hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, and explains why women tend to store more subcutaneous fat than men. Ben also explains that subcutaneous fat is healthier than visceral fat and plays a crucial role in producing hormones like leptin and adiponectin, both of which contribute to insulin sensitivity and overall metabolic health. He further delves into how fat cells function, noting that the size of fat cells is more important than the overall amount of fat in terms of health outcomes. Hypertrophic (enlarged) fat cells become insulin-resistant and pro-inflammatory, which can lead to metabolic disturbances throughout the body. The lecture goes on to explain the mechanics of liposuction and its limitations. While liposuction can rapidly remove large amounts of subcutaneous fat, it does not shrink fat cells or reduce visceral fat. Dr. Bikman discusses a study that found no metabolic improvements in patients who underwent liposuction, and he warns that without lifestyle changes, the body may regain fat, often in different, less favorable areas such as the abdomen. He cautions that liposuction should not be seen as a path to better health, but rather as a body contouring tool. Lastly, Dr. Bikman touches on liposuction in the context of lipedema, a condition characterized by painful fat buildup. He references a study showing that liposuction can improve pain, limb function, and quality of life for lipedema patients. While he generally views liposuction as ineffective for improving metabolic health, he acknowledges that it may have benefits in specific cases like lipedema. https://www.insuliniq.com 00:00 - Introduction to Liposuction and Its Prevalence 01:07 - Why People Are Turning to Liposuction 02:16 - The Essential Role of Body Fat 03:13 - How Fat Tissue Regulates Hormones 04:59 - Differences in Fat Distribution Between Men and Women 06:00 - Why Subcutaneous Fat is Healthier 07:04 - The Importance of Fat Cell Size 08:03 - How Fat Cells Become Insulin Resistant 10:01 - The Inflammatory Nature of Enlarged Fat Cells 12:11 - How Liposuction Removes Subcutaneous Fat 13:56 - Shrinking Fat Cells vs. Removing Fat with Liposuction 15:51 - No Metabolic Improvements from Liposuction 18:47 - Lifestyle Factors That Affect Fat Regain After Liposuction 19:49 - Study on Fat Redistribution After Liposuction 22:49 - Liposuction as a Body Contouring Tool 24:40 - Liposuction and Lipedema: Benefits and Outcomes 26:59 - Conclusion: Liposuction and Long-Term Health Ben’s favorite yerba maté and fiber supplement: https://ufeelgreat.com/usa/en/c/1BA884 Ben’s favorite meal-replacement shake: https://gethlth.com (discount: BEN10) Ben’s favorite electrolytes (and more): https://redmond.life (discount: BEN15) Ben’s favorite allulose source: https://rxsugar.com (discount: BEN20) Ben’s favorite health check-up for women: https://choosejoi.co/drben15 (discount: DRBEN15) Ben’s favorite health check-up for men: https://blokes.co/drben15 (discount: DRBEN15) References: Liposuction as a health fix, one of the best done studies:  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15201...
