Saddle bags returning 3 years after lipo. Surgeon said hormonal changes can cause fat cells to return - is this true? (photo)

MininxLC
3 years ago I had lipo on my thighs..I was very happy with my results. In 2020 I became pregnant and gave birth aug 2021. My pregnancy weight didn’t impact my results. I lost my baby weight n started the pill this year. After a few months I noticed my saddle bags gradually returning. My surgeon said hormonal changes can cause fat cells to return to the treated areas. Is this true? I am extremely upset that it has returned. Not as bad. But I thought it couldn’t regenerate
