Redistribution of Fat After Liposuction?

flawed beauty
If you store fat predominately in your abdomen, butt, and thighs and you get your entire abdomen and back liposuctioned, does that mean that if you gain weight again most of the new weight gain will go to your thighs and butt since new fat cells don't develop in the abdomen?
