Asked By:Lisannez in Washington, DC

I posted previously, I had liposuction on my upper and lower abs about a year ago (July 2015). By November I had lost 5 pounds but seeing minimal effects in the abdomen area. Now a year later all the fat is back. Yes my stomach looks exactly like it did pre surgery. I have not had any other odd weight gain, that people say sometimes happen. Just all the weight came back? How is that possible? How do I know if this is visercal fat?
