We have written a lot about lipo suction on this site but little is ever mentioned about potential weight gains after the weight loss surgery is carried out. So, what happens if you do start eating a lot again following lipo suction?

This is actually a really important question to ask your plastic surgeon at your consultation and the answer they give will go something like this...

In the same way that brain cells grow and exist fat cells are created during childhood and this is when your body actually makes them. After this point you will not create any more in your body. The only thing you will do is make them bigger - which is how you get fat.

The only time your body has to start producing more fat cells is when you get seriously obese as the cells that exist can no longer expand any more.

Lipo suction is quite a useful tool then to control weight gain as its job is to remove fat cells from your body and the areas where you genetically put on weight (usually the thighs, hips, stomach and butt). With less fat cells in those areas chances are you will find it much easier to keep the weight off and the body will not just put that fat elsewhere. It stays off!

To be honest though all the plastic surgeons and lipo suction specialists we talk to tell us that 95% of lipo suction patients do not gain weight after lipo and instead they continue to watch what they eat and exercice to either maintain that body weight or lose a little more.
