Best Way to Permanently Remove Fat Cells?

shauna samson
I have always read and have had friends who had traditional lipo and the fat always resurfaces some other weird random place because we are pre set w/ a certain number of fat cells. Does cool lipo have the same effect in permanently removing the cells or just the fat? Thanks.
