If I get liposuction (suction lipectomy) will the fat return?
Fat will not return to the area of liposuction (suction lipectomy) unless the patient gains weight after the liposuction (suction lipectomy) procedure. If the patient does gain weight after the liposuction (suction lipectomy) procedure, then the weight gain will be in a different pattern than before the liposuction (suction lipectomy) procedure. After the liposuction (suction lipectomy) procedure weight control by a combination of exercise and nutritional counseling under the care of a physician is important to maintain the results.
