Hello, it has been a year since my liposuction. Is possible that fat returns to the treated areas? I had arm liposuction, I gain 8lbs within a year and I noticed my arms are fat, the same way they were BEFORE lipo. If I lose the extra weight and do toning exercises, will my arms be slim again?

Answer: Does fat come back? Hi Liz and thanks for your question. Every patient must be conscious about nutrition after liposuction. It is necessary to modify dietetic habits or remaining fat cels will grow and everything is going to look as before surgery or even worse, they don't multiply but increase their size instead and will respond to body weight variatons.

Answer: Fat return after weight gain Liposuction permanently removes fat from the areas treated but not all of the fat cells are removed. You do not create more fat cells after puberty so the improvement in the areas tends to be permanent if your weight remains stable. Because there are still some fat cells in the area treated if you gain weight those treated areas will increase in size but as you lose weight they will in all likelihood return the size they were after liposuction.
