Medical Myths: Can Fat “Grow Back” After Liposuction? SmartLipo™ Laser Liposuction in New Haven County, Fairfield County & Middlesex County
September 15, 2014
Here is a question we often receive here at The Langdon Center: “Can fat ‘grow back’ following my liposuction procedure with board-certified CT cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Robert Langdon?”
The answer is “no.” Once fat cells have been removed from one area, they will not return.
“Fat cells that are removed through SmartLipo cannot return,” advises Dr. Langdon, “however, fat storage can take place in other areas of the body where fat cells are present because liposuction was not performed there.”
In addition, if a significant amount of weight is gained, new fat cells can form. Gaining a few pounds will not cause new fat cells to form, but a large quantity of weight, such as might occur with a new pregnancy, could.
*Individual Results May Vary
“Most of our New Haven patients find their liposuction results to be long-lasting,” says Dr. Langdon. “During your consultation process, we advise you on how to maintain optimal results, which includes maintaining a healthy lifestyle that includes a fresh diet of lean protein, fruits and vegetables as well as engaging in regular exercise. Liposuction is not a weight loss tool, but rather body sculpting. It is recommended for those who are near their ideal weight but cannot seem to lose stubborn bumps and bulges, despite healthy eating and hitting the gym.”
