Does liposuction cause fat in other areas later on?

Thank you for your question. No, liposuction per se does not cause fat in other areas, but weight gain does. When you have liposuction the fat cells are removed from those areas. So when you gain weight after liposuction, it will not go to those areas treated, but will be distributed to the areas that were not treated with liposuction as there are still fat cells present. For best results after liposuction it is always best to maintain a healthy lifestyle!  Best of luck! 

Thank you for your question. The answer is no, liposuction does not cause fat in other areas. However, if you gain weight then fat will be distributed in other areas where liposuction was not performed. It is best advised to maintain your with a healthy diet.

Liposuction permanently removes the fat from the treated areas and it does not cause another area to gain fat. However, if one were to gain weight, you would notice it in the untreated areas first. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle in order to maintain the overall results from liposuction.

No, liposuction doesn't cause fat in other areas. You will need to maintain a healthy weight to maintain results. If you do gain weight, you will most likely gain in untreated areas first. For best results with liposuction, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear abaltz001,no, liposuction does not create fat in other areas.Liposuction is used to remove the excess fat tissue from problematic areas. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Liposuction doesn't cause you to gain more fat in other areas. The aim of liposuction is to eliminate stubborn fat and improve the appearance of a problem area. Some people think that the fat moves to other body parts after the liposuction but it is not like that. If you gain weight your body regenerates fat cells and it is possible to gain weight in or around the treated areas even after the lipo.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat cells from specific areas of the body through suction. While it can provide significant and long-lasting results in terms of fat reduction in the treated areas, it does not prevent weight gain or the accumulation of fat in other areas of the body over time.The distribution of body fat is influenced by factors such as genetics, lifestyle, diet, and overall health. If a person gains weight after liposuction, the body's remaining fat cells, as well as new ones that may form, can store excess fat in areas that were not treated with liposuction. Therefore, it's crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to help prevent weight gain and maintain the results achieved through liposuction.Liposuction is not a weight loss solution but rather a body contouring procedure. It is most effective when combined with a healthy lifestyle to achieve and maintain the desired results. It's important for individuals considering liposuction to have realistic expectations and to commit to a healthy lifestyle to optimize the long-term outcomes.

Thank you for your inquiry. To answer your question it is important that you understand that liposuction is a procedure in which fat cells are removed from the areas treated. The procedure per se will not cause fat in other areas, but gaining weight will cause the fat to distribute to the areas where fat cells are still present. So in order to get the best result possible it is important to maintain a stable weight by keeping a healthy lifestyle. I hope this information was helpful. 
 

If your weight remains stable, the results from enhancement of the treated areas should persist and you would not expect to have the fat "reappear" somewhere else. However, if you gain weight, you may see more gain in the areas that have NOT been treated since you have had significant fat cell volume removed from the treated areas. That does not mean you would gain no weight in the treated areas, just that the untreated areas may proportionally enlarge more. The best way to avoid worrying about this is to try to maintain weight within a reasonably narrow range that is sustainable.

Liposuction per se does not cause new fat deposit in the other areas in the future. However, if you gained weight, then there might be more fat deposited into the other areas, because the pure fat cell numbers in the liposuctioned areas are already reduced. Consequently, the cells in the treated areas will take up less fat!
