However, this does not mean that it’s possible for you to’t gain weight after having liposuction.
In short, while it can improve your body proportions,liposuction has limits.
It is not an effective method of weight loss and certainly does not grant an all-you-can-eat lifestyle.

How Liposuction Works
The human body has only a certain number of fat cells.
The fat cells grow larger or smaller as we gain or lose weight, respectively.
The number and distribution of our fat cells are set before we even reach adulthood.
When fat deposits are removed throughliposuction, those fat cells are gone forever.

Side effects of liposuction can include moderate pain, swelling, and bruising.
For most people, pain will begin to subside after the first week or two.
Swelling and bruising may persist for up to six weeks.
Not surprisingly, the women ended uplosingvisceral fat compared to their values before they had liposuction.
Can you have liposuction more than once?
Exercise appears to mitigate those efforts and recalibrate the body’s weight set point.
That said, exercise is not always enough to prevent fat redistribution or gains.
The reasons for this are unclear.
Why this doesn’t happen in other parts of the body remains a mystery.

Summary
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat from the body.
Once the fat cells are removed from the body, they do not grow back.
Exercise is the best way to ensure long-lasting post-liposuction body contours.
