Background and Objectives. The growing complexity of Plastic Surgery, has made this specialty split into several subspecialties. One of the limiting factors of Plastic Surgery has been obesity, this disease carries complications, increases the risk of having drawbacks and it makes the projected result for esthetics and function be insufficient. Our objective is to show the importance of the cellular inflammation evaluation when preparing patients who were submitted to elective surgery, previously treated with a low glycaemic load carbohidrates diet, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and antioxidants. Methods. A prospective longitudinal quasi-experimental non-random study was practiced on 23 patients who requested plastic surgery and agreed to enter to the diagnosis protocol and treatment for cellular inflammation. First, the Silent Inflammation Report "RIS" questionnaire was performed. Cellular inflammation and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaeonic acid (DHA), arachidonic acid (AA) and dihomo-gammalinoleic acid (DGLA) tests were taken when the patients entered and before the surgery. The data were analised with descriptive statistics data and the ranges were compared with the McNemar's test and Student's hypothesis from de SPSS system. Results. The Cellular Inflammation Report "RIS" questionnaire was performed on the 23 patients before their preparation with the diet and it was performed from 1 to 3 months later. Each of the questionnaires answers were evaluated with the non-parametric tests, finding a significant difference in the 14 items. The EPA was considerably improved at the increase. The DHA and the AA had no significant changes, and the DGLA decreased. With the Student's t it was found that there was a significant variation on the plasma's phospholipids and there was no significant difference between the DHA and AA. Conclusions. The effectiveness of the omegas-based diet was shown, contributing to the decrease of the initial symptomatology of the patients.
