My arms were obviously over liposucked! they feel like skin and bones 5 months after surgery. Is there hope? For some fat to come back? For more skin retraction? For anything?

Answer: Liposuction We are all born with a fixed number of fat cells, distributed all over the body in a distribution determined by gender and genetics. Each individual fat cell, or adipocyte, can and does get larger or smaller with weight gain and loss. Laser Liposuction will decrease the number of fat cells present in the targeted area. It will not eliminate the ability to gain or lose weight overall and therefore should never be used as a substitute for diet and exercise. But, what typically happens is that since the number of fat cells is now much less in the area of concern, the weight that the patient gains with normal fluctuation will go preferentially to other untreated areas with a greater number of fat cells (although some can come back to the treated areas since the fat cells are decreased but not completely eliminated from one area).
