After a Tummy tuck procedure, will the fat cells travel to other parts of your body?

No, your fat cells will not travel
to other parts of your body. Keep in mind that if you gain weight after your
surgery 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.

After and abdominoplasty in the sizable amount of fat reservoir that is removed with most procedures, provided body weight is maintained there will be no deposition in remote areas.

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.  It is important to maintain your weight after liposuction and to maintain a healthy lifestyle.  Best regards.

The fat cells will not go elsewhere after the tummy tuck  procedure. The fat cells that are removed are gone forever, however the remaining fat cells can increase in size with increased weight gain. Therefore it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise. 

No, after a tummy tuck those fat cells are gone forever, but the ones that are left behind can still enlarge in response to eating more, so you will still be able to gain and lose weight as before.

hola! Meggy, Fat cells don't travel after a surgery, but you need to take care of yourself , doing diet and exercise to keep the result and as Dr. Lee said you may see sun augmentation of your fat in other areas because of your bad eating habits. 

No the fat cells that you have remain and do not travel but if you gain weight fat can be deposited in other areas of your body.  I have seen some patients who gain 25 to 30 lbs after their tummy tucks and see the weight go to their backs, arms, and thighs.  So you need to adhere to a healthy lifestyle.

Luckily, fat cells don't travel around the body, so you don't have to worry about fat cells moving to another location after a tummy tuck.  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.
