Follow up, liposuction on arms. Is it possible that fat returns to the treated areas? (Photo)

Liposuction doesn't remove all the fat so you can regain weight after liposuction if you do not follow a normal diet or you have weight fluctuations.  I suggest laser or ultrasound treatments in the future to permanently get tissue tightening and fat loss at the same time.  Best, Dr. Emer.

If patients maintain their weight fat will not return to an area that has been treated by liposuction. With significant weight gain however it is possible to have fat deposited in previously treated areas.

Liposuction
removes excess fat deposits from underneath your skin, but it doesn’t
permanently create definition in the treated area if weight gain occurs again
in the future. As fat accumulates in the body, your genetics will determine
where it is stored. So, if you were prone to fat storage near your upper arm
crease before your liposuction, you will likely see fat accumulate there again
with weight gain. To extend the length of your liposuction results, try to
maintain a healthy weight and perform regular exercises to keep your muscle
tone well-developed.
