The subjects were divided into dietary-counselled group A, which received diet plans, and control group B, which followed up without any dietary advice. Lipid profile was done at baseline and three months post-liposuction. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.\nResults: Of the 100 subjects enrolled, 83(83%) completed the study; 43(51.8%) in group A and 40(48.2%) in group B. Overall, there were 19(22.9%) males, 64(77.1%) females, and 55(66.3%) were aged &lt;40 years, while 28(33.7%) were aged 40 years. Intra-group improvement was significant for total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides for both the groups (p&lt;0.05). The change for very low-density lipoprotein in group B was not significant (p&gt;0.05). Change in high-density lipoprotein was for the better in group A, while it decreased in group B and the change in both cases was significant (p&lt;0.05). Inter-group differences were not significant (p&gt;0.05) except for total cholesterol (p&lt;0.05).\nConclusion: Liposuction alone resulted in the improvement of lipid profile, while dietary intervention resulted in better values with respect to very low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein.\nKey Words: Liposuction, Diet, Dietary Counselling, Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.47391\/jpma.4707","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,7]],"date-time":"2023-02-07T04:37:53Z","timestamp":1675744673000},"page":"245-248","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Effects of dietary counselling on lipid profile among liposuction patients"],"prefix":"10.47391","volume":"73","author":[{"given":"Adeela","family":"Jehan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zaheer","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seemin","family":"Kashif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saba","family":"Liaqat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Humayun","family":"Mohmand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asma","family":"Afreen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"26547","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,15]]},"container-title":["Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ojs.jpma.org.pk\/index.php\/public_html\/article\/download\/4707\/2069","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,7]],"date-time":"2023-02-07T04:37:54Z","timestamp":1675744674000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ojs.jpma.org.pk\/index.php\/public_html\/article\/view\/4707"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,15]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,15]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.47391\/jpma.4707","relation":{},"ISSN":["0030-9982"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0030-9982","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,15]]}}}
