Liposuction removes fat cells.Once removed, they will most certainly die at sometime.When performing liposuction, it is rarely the intent to remove all layers of fat.As such, there will still be fat cells left behind.Those remaining fat cells will behave like fat cells do and grow in size with the weight gain.Liposuction does not kill fat cells. It simply removes them.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
That's not exactly correct. Liposuction removes fat cells from an area and since they are no longer there, those cells are not available for fat storage. But we don't come close to removing all the fat cells and there are plenty left over to store fat if you do not control your weight.
