Abstract Liposuction has been used as a surgical method of shaping the body for more than 30 years. Although of considerable interest,

goes on in a patient’s blood after laser-assisted lipectomy. Standard blood samples were evaluated in patients before and
after lipectomy. We compared values of hemoglobin, erythrocytes, hematocrit, and leukocytes. We performed the same evaluation
in patients undergoing laser-supported lipectomy. Moreover, we compared the decrease in postoperative values in laser-aided
lipectomy patients with the reduction of values in conventional lipectomy patients. A paired two-sided Student’s t test was used for statistical eva…
