Does getting liposuction mean that it is open season at the buffet?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) April 20th, 2011

If a person gets the fat lipoed out of their thighs, belly, flanks, belly, etc but they don’t change their lifestyle, they still scarf down the nachos, the 3 tubs of Hagen Das, pizza and such and remain as sedentary, non-active as they always was, if they gain weight back would they be unbalanced? Seeing there is not fat in the liposuction areas would all the fat pool in areas that did not get any procedure done such as having great thighs with ”tankles” (ankles built like military tanks) BKA “cankles” or have rockin’ abs with chicken back arms? Or can they scarf down anything and not get fat now that the fat has been sucked away?

It will come back pretty quickly if they are eating unhealthy. The fat will keep dispersing like it did before the liposuction. It won’t specifically flood to the place where the fat was sucked out.

Having liposuction doesn’t give you “rockin’ abs”; only exercise does that. The weight comes back if you don’t modify your diet and increase your exercise.

No. The people I know who had lipo, when they gain some weight you still see it in the non lipo’d areas and it looks a little strange. One person I have known forever had lipo on her stomach, and true she has a much flatter stomach, but lately her face, arms, legs look like when she does when she is above her ideal weight, so she still does not look like she does when she is a good weight. But, she obsessed about her stomach, so I guess this is better to her than being fat everywhere and her stomach.

Fat cells are held in place in your boy.So if you have the fat cells in your belly sucked out those fat cells are gone forever. You don’t make new fat cells. But surely to gawd people would watch what they eat after!
