I am looking at getting Smart Lipo and would like to know if the fat cells that are taken out can come back?

    The number of fat cells is reduced, and it is more difficult to gain fat in the areas liposuctioned.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

liposuction doesn't
affect your future ability to gain weight or lose weight. If you gain weight
after lipo in the flanks, your body will preferentially place it in other
untreated areas like abdomen, back, butt, breast, arms, inner thighs, outer
thighs. Some of it will go to the butt.

the best thing is to try
not to regain the weight back.

Once fat cells are removed from a patient during smart liposuction, they will not return in that specific area.  What patients have to keep in mind is that there are still remaining fat cells in the surrounding area, and if the patient gains weight those remaining fat cells will become noticeably larger.  The bottom line is that the fat cells that are removed are gone for ever, but if proper diet and exercise is not maintained, the ones that are left can get bigger. 

when fat cells are removed, with any type of liposuction,  they are removed for ever, however you will still have fat cells remaining in those areas and if you start gaining weight, those remaining cells will get bigger and the fat may become more apparent.

The fat cells during laser assisted lipo are destroyed and cannot come back. However, if you gain weight other body areas will fill with fat.  The best results are in motivated people who maintain good eating habits and exercise.

The fat that is removed will not come back. If you gain weight the fat cells that remain can get larger and affect your result. Maintain your weight and you should be ok. Ask your smart lipo surgeon. He or she can best answer your questions.

the simple answer is No the fat cells cannot return. I use the laser on a regular basis but to be fair I should tell you that whether it's removed with the laser or the standard operation the fat cells will still not return. Good luck with your operation.
