The fat cells removed from liposuction do not "come back." Fat cells have an amazing ability to store large amounts of fat. What happens following liposuction is that weight gain is typically seen in other non-liposuctioned areas. Losing weight after liposuction is the same as losing weight before liposuction. Weight gain is a fairly simple issue - eating more calories than you burn. Increasing your basal metabolic rate through exercise and altering how much and what types of food you eat via a healthy diet will burn fat regardless of it's distribution in the body. There is no optimal BMI for a tummy tuck and liposuction during a tummy tuck is typically for individuals with more fat and less laxity issues.

First of all, you should not hold questions back from your surgeon. This is a person you chose to have a major operation with and a candid conversation is warranted. How do you know that no liposuction was performed? Was the liposuction to be adjunctive and discretionary during surgery? Often times as surgeons, our operative plan changes due to factors seen during the operation. Safety is paramount in any cosmetic procedure, and perhaps your surgeon felt that liposuction in your case would cause more risk than benefit. Having an open conversation about this will distill your fears and provide you answers you are undoubtly searching the internet for.

Simply stated, this means that the amount of connective tissue was more apparent than usual. Certain areas of our body have more connections from the under surface of the skin to the muscle fascia. Some of these areas are so rigid we refer to them as "zones of adherence." Passing a liposuction cannula through these areas can be difficult. The "burns" can occur from rubbing of the garment. These usually heal uneventfully with conservative wound care. Overall, it sounds as though you had a significant liposuction procedure. It can take several months for the swelling to resolve. Stay patient and follow your surgeon's instructions.
