How will the fat return after liposuction?

November 13, 2011
Asked By:

If weight gain occurs after liposuction, will it only return in areas that were not affected by liposuction? Or will fat grow back as it did prior to liposuction? If someone has lipo on the abdomen, will that area stay trim looking, even if they gain some weight back?
