Does Weight Gain After Stomach Liposuction Bring Fat Back to Upper Body?

Gaining weight after liposuction, the fat has to go somewhere.  It will go in some degree to the entire body, even the areas that are suctioned.  Hopefully, you won't gain so much weight that it creates contour abnormalities elsewhere, as this is unusual.

Liposuction is a procedure that targets localized
collections of fat. The fat cells in these problem areas are different from
other fat cells because they’re typically hormonally sensitive and diet
resistant. For this reason, these fat cells don’t respond to diet and exercise.
When patients diet and exercise, they lose weight in the surrounding areas, but
the problem areas are only minimally effected.

Liposuction is an effective method for removing fat
cells from these problem areas. Once these fat cells are removed, fluctuations
in weight are associated with a more even distribution of fat.

Following liposuction of the abdomen, subsequent
weight gain wouldn’t occur primarily in the upper body, but would be more
evenly distributed throughout the body. In contrast, prior to liposuction,
weight gain might affect the mid-section disproportionately.

Liposuction is a significant investment and for
this reason, should be accompanied by life style changes. These changes are the
best way to insure that fluctuations in weight don’t create these types of
problems in the future.

Most people who undergo liposuction are very in tune with their bodies.  They are very good at maintaining their physique and will not allow weight gain.  If you put on a few pounds you will not notice an abnormal distribution of fat.  However if you put on a significant amount of fat you may get abnormal deposits.
