Introduction. Dyslipidemia like other chronic degenerative diseases is pandemic in Latin America and around the world. A lot\r\nof patients asking for body contouring surgery can be sick without knowing it. Objective. Observe the lipid profile of patients\r\nwith dyslipidemia, before and three months after an abdominoplasty. Methods. Patients candidate to an abdominoplasty without\r\nmorbid obesitywere followed before and threemonths after the surgery.We compared the lipid profile, glucose, insulin, andHOMA\r\n(cardiovascular risk marker) before and three months after the surgery. We used Student�s ?? test to compare the results. A ?? value\r\nless than 0.05 was considered as significant. Results. Twenty-six patients were observed before and after the surgery. At the third\r\nmonth, we found only statistical differences in LDL and triglyceride values (?? 0.04 and ?? 0.03). The rest of metabolic values did not\r\nreach statistical significance. Conclusion. In this group of patients with dyslipidemia, at the third month, only LDL and triglyceride\r\nvalues reached statistical significances.There is no significant change in glucose, insulin, HOMA, cholesterol, VLDL, or HDL.
