Abstract

Introduction: Localized Lipodystrophy (LL) is the excess of adipose tissue at body sites. Combination therapy (CT) and manual lymphatic drainage (DLM) may act to reduce LL. Objective: To verify the effect of CT associated with DLM on the LL in the abdomen of young women and the degree of body image satisfaction. Method: Blind clinical study, in which 12 women with LL participated in the abdomen. Participants underwent 10 CT sessions associated with DLM. The women were evaluated before and after treatment by measuring the weight and height; abdominal circumference; plicometry; photographic record; and application of Satisfaction Scale with Body Image. Results: We observed reduction in abdominal circumference, skinfold thickness, reducing the percentage of body fat and improved body image satisfaction of individuals. Conclusion: The treatment presented fast and satisfactory results in the reduction of LL in the abdomen of women.
