Abstract

Summary: Obesity is a widespread health concern worldwide, necessitating diverse interventions for effective weight management. Despite prior unsuccessful attempts at weight loss through conventional methods, including dietary restrictions and physical exercises, this case underscores the challenges faced by individuals with morbid obesity. This case report presents the successful outcome of VASER liposuction followed by a 6-month postoperative ketogenic diet regimen in a 35-year-old man with a body mass index (BMI) of 40. The patient, initially weighing 127 kg with a BMI of 40.9 kg/m² and significant fatty deposition primarily on the chest, abdomen, and flanks, underwent tumescent VASER liposuction, removing 5 L of fat. Subsequently, adhering to a modified ketogenic diet plan led to a notable reduction in weight (from 127 kg to 97 kg) and BMI (from 40 to 31.5) over the 6-month follow-up period. Effective pain management postoperatively and improvements in skin retraction and energy levels were observed. The combined approach of VASER liposuction and a ketogenic diet yielded favorable outcomes, including significant weight loss, improved BMI, and enhanced body contouring. Importantly, minimal loose skin was observed despite substantial weight reduction, highlighting the synergistic effects of the intervention. This case highlights the potential synergistic effects of VASER liposuction and a ketogenic diet in addressing obesity, offering a promising approach for weight management in morbid obese individuals. The synergistic effects included enhanced skin tightening, safety, faster recovery, minimal pain, and substantial weight loss.
