Liposuction – Does Fat Return After Surgery?

by admin on June 23, 2010

This is a common perception that the fat comes back in areas and it is debatable. However, I feel that the fat tissue itself that you removed from liposuction surgery, if it is removed properly, does not come back in that area. If there is fullness occurring in that area after liposuction, it is usually from it being not removed enough or possibly fullness occurring for other reasons. Let’s take the abdomen for example. Many times patients feel there is still fat remaining because their abdomen is so full after liposuction surgery and it could be due to the fact that there is intra-abdominal fullness with fat around the viscera or organs that cannot be targeted with liposuction surgery or that the patient maybe has lost muscle tone and fullness that has occurred because of reduced muscle tone in that area and they’re confusing this with fat. It is something that I call flab which is just loose tissue and it’s not necessarily fat returning after liposuction.
