It will be resorbed

David E. Berman, MD answers: What happens when liquefied fat is not suctioned out?

I just had tumescent Smart Lipo done on my abdomen and a male breast reduction. The doctor suctioned out the liquefied fat after using the laser. If the excess fat was not suctioned out, what happens?

you mentioned that your doctor did carry out liposuctioning after the Smartlipo. Any residual liquified fat that was not suctioned out will simply be resorbed so you do not need to worry.
