How does liposuction prevent the body from redistributing the rest of the fat back to the affected area?

Question

Let’s say I do a liposuction on my stomach. I still have fat in my arms, legs, butt, chest, whatever.

How does vacuuming it from my stomach prevent my body from putting fat back there?

Answer 1

fat cells also do not divide very frequently. the majority of the fat cells in our body divide before our 20s, and then the total population remains somewhat stable. much of the weight variation is from the size of the individual fat cells. so yes, fat cells will reform in the area, but much slower compared to other tissue types
