In women undergoing abdominoplasty, pooled preoperative GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide or tirzepatide) attenuated the postoperative CRP rise versus lifestyle-induced weight loss.
In plain wordsAfter abdominoplasty, CRP rose less with GLP-1 drugs (semaglutide or tirzepatide, pooled) than with lifestyle weight loss.

Postoperatively, biomarker increases were significantly attenuated in the GLP-1 RA group: CRP (+ 18 vs. + 28 mg/L, p < 0.01), IL-6 (+ 12 vs. + 20 pg/mL, p < 0.01), fibrinogen (+ 40 vs. + 65 mg/dL, p = 0.02), D-dimer (+ 0.8 vs. + 1.3 µg/mL, p < 0.01), and PAI-1 (+ 5 vs. + 9 ng/mL, p < 0.05).
2 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
We conducted a prospective, monocentric, observational study of 60 female patients (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 before weight loss) undergoing standardized abdominoplasty with rectus plication.
Two cohorts were compared: (1) 30 patients treated with GLP-1 RAs (semaglutide or tirzepatide) for ≥12 weeks preoperatively, and (2) 30 patients achieving comparable weight loss through structured lifestyle intervention.
In this study, Semaglutide was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Semaglutide.
