Does Fat Distribute Differently After the Zerona Procedure?

What made me stay away from regular liposuction is the long term results. Almost everyone I know who has had lipo ended up with the same problem, the fat starts storing in different places, mainly the upper body in the arms and chest area.

My question is, does Zerona have that same affect on fat distribution?

Zerona Distribution of Fat
It is a common observation that fat is distributed to the arms and chest, if a patient gains a significant amount of weight, say more than 10 pounds, after liposuction. This occurs because the fat accumulates in every area of the body in proportion to the amount of fat cells in each area. Areas where fat cells have been removed by liposuction will accumulate relatively little fat, while areas not treated by Liposuction will collect relatively more fat, i.e., arms and chest...

Zerona treatments will not change your distribution of fat storage!

If you not have reached and maintained a balance between caloric intake and metabolic caloric utilization, you will continue to store fat after surgery. With fewer fat cells left in the treated area you will proportionally store more fat elsewhere. The other issue is that fat...

Fat distribution after Zerona treatment
Zerona treatment results in the shrinkage of fat cells and not in a reduction of the number of fat cells Therefore, unlike liposuction, If one were to regain weight after Zerona treatment the redistribution of the fat would be the same as before having had the treatment. Remember, any treatment to reduce fat or weight is an adjunct to, not a substitution for, having a good diet and exercise program.
