Will adopting a keto diet post-lipo result in fat cells coming back?

I'm currently 10 weeks post tummy tuck & lipo. I'm looking to adopt a keto diet which is high-fat, high-protein, low carb diet. The daily caloric ratios are roughly 70% fat, 25% protein, 5% carbs. I've heard that it can be easier to gain fat back post-lipo. So, I'm wondering... is this a safe diet to undertake in my circumstances? Do I run a risk of the fat cells coming back easier if I adopt such a diet?
