hormone imbalances (mild PCOS) & lipo - will the fat grow back even if I maintain weight? (Photos)

June 30, 2024
Asked By:anothersixpence in England, United Kingdom

I suffer with hormone imbalances (mild PCOS) and am interested in liposuction. Will the fat grow back even if I maintain weight? I am a healthy weight (BMI 23.3) and usually lower, but I just cannot shift fat from my lower belly no matter what. My triceps also hold onto fat which I don’t like. Am I a good candidate? Will it grow back? I live a very active and healthy life, so lifestyle is no issue.
