Once fat cells in a given location are destroyed, can they be replaced by other fat cells?

I appreciate your question.Your body has a limited number of fat cells. Once they are removed or die they can not be replaced. However, fat cells store fat and can expandThe best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Fat cells do not multiply and do not move, so once the fat cells are removed from a specific area, they are gone forever. Fat cells do however shrink and expand depending on how much weight you gain. If you gain weight, the remaining fat cells in the area may enlarge.
