I know vaser liposuction is not a weight loss solution. In saying that, if you are slightly pear-shaped and gain more weight in a certain area. Can vaser be effective? or if you gain more weight, is it still likely it will return to the same areas

Answer: Return of fat after liposuction Hi and thanks for the question. In short, the answer is no. While its possible to " out eat lip0 " and gain weight in areas that have had previous lipoplasty, in most circumstances, the number of fat cells in the treated area is significantly reduced. Hence, any weight gain, which is a global event, meaning, you gain weight in all areas of your body in a uniform fashion, would be proportional. In order to gain weight in an area that was previously treated with lipo, you would have to gain a substantial amount of weight - and that, to me, would be your primary problem of concern.Best of luck,Glenn Vallecillos, MD, FACS, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Weight Gain after Vaser Liposuction Thanks for the question which everyone seems to wonder about. That is can fat return to areas that are treated with VASER. In the past we have seen two scenarios. Those patients who gain it all back and those that don't. The reasons are multiple but mostly it has to do with your daily diet and exercise levels. Genetically there are certain stubborn areas like the buttocks love handles and/or neck which are repositories for fat storage. the fact that fat remains viable in the areas from which it is removed means these remaining cells can become filled with more fat once some are removed around them. The ability to maintain a normal body weight will determine if this happens or not. Hope this is helpful.
