The fat of the buttocks is supported by a matrix of connective tissue. Liposuction can make the area look ptotic or droopy
Of course the answer to this question can only be made after evaluating your particular anatomy, defining and communicating your goals, and developing a plan with your surgeon. Every person, regardless of their heritage, has a different anatomy. They also have different goals. In addition, every surgeon has a different quality of education, training and experience. If you choose a surgeon who hears what you want, has the skills experience and techniques to achieve your goals, and designs a surgical plan based on your individual anatomy, you will get the best outcome.
Liposuction of the buttocks may injure the connective tissue attachments from the skin to the underlying muscle. This may cause the buttocks to sag.
Liposuction is commonly done in the flank area above and around the buttocks to decrease the fat in the love handle areas and make the buttocks appear more attractive. In certain American African women, who have large buttocks, liposuction in that area can achieve a good look. In most Caucasian women, it will give them a flat and saggy butt. Most men tend to loose buttock fat with aging, and usually is not done on men. So, usually liposuction is not done on the buttocks in most people to avoid sagging.

If your question is whether or not fat cells will regenerate in an area after liposuction I'm not sure the answer is known. Most of us think that the number of fat cells carried into adult life is finite. However patients with appreciable weight gain may not follow this pattern.
The coughing is probably not related to your liposuction. However, if you have a cough that has persisted for several weeks then you need to be4 evaluated by a general practitioner or otolaryngologist to see if there are any severe issues going on in your airway.

I would have to pinch that area to see if there is any fat component contributing to the shape of the back of the chest. It appears that if liposuction could be done the result would be minimal as most of the shape is due to muscle. Good Luck.
Thank you for the question. Follow up is typically surgeon dependent. I prefer to see my patients at 5 days, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months post op. Therefore you should be able to fly out at about 5 days post op. Having said that each plastic surgeon has their own style of managing patients, I...
