Gaining Fat After Vaser Lipo

I'm considering having my neck, upper and lower abs done with Vaser liposuction. I have already met with one doctor for a consultation. What happens if I gain fat after the procedure? Will the fat go back to these areas or new ones?

No matter how you remove the fat, the remaining fat will grow in response to weight gain.

So, to directly answer your question, if you gain...
