Follow up, liposuction on arms. Is it possible that fat returns to the treated areas? (Photo)

Asked By:Eliza_beth in Houston, TX

Hello, it has been a year since my liposuction. Is possible that fat returns to the treated areas? I had arm liposuction, I gain 8lbs within a year and I noticed my arms are fat, the same way they were BEFORE lipo. If I lose the extra weight and do toning exercises, will my arms be slim again?
