Is It True That Fat Cells Will Migrate to Other Parts of Body After Lipo Even if the Person Does Not Gain Any Weight?

Asked By:cindymd in Rockville, MD

I totally got the scenario of how existing fat cells can grow if an individual gains extra body fat after lipo, any weight gain may result in the fat being stored elsewhere (untreated areas). But from what I read, the body requires certain amount of fat cells, so if fat cells were removed, they can cause fat cells to migrate to other part of the body whether the person gains weight or not. IS IT TRUE? if so, what benefit can one receives from lipo knowing this is a no win situation.
