Any form of Lipo is similar in this regard

John Philip Di Saia, MD answers: SmartLipo - Are SmartLipo results permanent or will the fat cells come back?

With SmartLipo, if they suction out the fat cells, don;t the fat cells eventually grow back? And possibly somewhere else on your body?

Hello,

Smart Lipo is liposuction with a laser assist. Liposuction procedures all require some discipline in maintaining weight to maintain results. The fat cells that are removed do not grow back, but the cells that are left can be packed with more fat if challenged. So, "Yes" liposuction removes fat cells, but you can "blow up" in the treated areas again if you try hard enough.
