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.
