No, your fat cells will not travelto other parts of your body. Keep in mind that if you gain weight after yoursurgery however, the new fat could be deposited anywhere on your body. Therefore, I recommend keeping up a healthy lifestyle to preserve the positive changes made to your body during surgery. Best regards.

Hello, Meggy222. We are born with certain number of fat cells. During liposuction, these fat cells are removed from the treatment areas. If you happen to gain weight after surgery, your fat cells in the body will hypertrophy everywhere. Fat cells do not travel.

However, the normal laws of caloric intake and burning still apply. If one takes in more calories than they burn though exercise, one can still gain weight. Best wishes, Dr Lepore.
