Asked By:MissOrginal in Hialeah, Florida

In the past 8 years I have put on 50lbs. I am currently 5’8, 195lbs with 69lb being fat (35.4%). I like my shape and my goal is to get down to 150lb. I know during weight loss fat cells shrink and are not lost. My question is once I get down to my goal or close to it, can I have fat cells removed to help prevent expansion in the future? I would of course continue with dieting and exercise but not to the extent of the methods used to get down from 195 to 150.
