Can you regenerate fat cells?

Once fat cells have been removed from the body, they cannot grow back and new fat cells cannot develop. But what can happen by gaining weight after liposuction is that the remaining fat cells get bigger. This is why it is so crucial to be vigilant about maintaining a stable weight after liposuction.

Can Fat Return after Liposuction?

Anyone that invests time or money into liposuction is wise to consider how long the results last. Reputable plastic surgeons appreciate when patients ask questions about the longevity of liposuction, because it shows they are being realistic about the treatment outcomes. Dr. Joshua Greenwald, who performs liposuction in New York City, has been asked many times whether fat can return after liposuction. Read on as he addresses the answer to this query.

Fat Cannot “Grow Back”

After reaching adulthood, your body does not create more fat cells. Gaining or losing weight simply changes the size of the existing fat cells. If you gain weight, your fat cells enlarge. If you lose weight, the fat cells shrink. During liposuction, Dr. Greenwald breaks up unwanted fat in an isolated area of the body (e.g., the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, hips, back, arms). He uses a special instrument called a cannula to gently suction the fat cells from the body. Although Dr. Greenwald reduces the amount of fat cells in the treated area— enough to create noticeable results — he does not remove every single fat cell. In order to maintain a smooth body contour in the treated area, he must leave a thin layer of fat cells. Once fat cells have been removed from the body, they cannot grow back and new fat cells cannot develop. But what can happen by gaining weight after liposuction is that the remaining fat cells get bigger. This is why it is so crucial to be vigilant about maintaining a stable weight after liposuction. Having liposuction does not prevent you from gaining weight, in turn diminishing or reversing some of your results.

The Key to Maintaining Liposuction Results Long-Term

Maintaining your liposuction results hinges on practicing healthy habits. Take in fewer calories than you burn by eating a balanced, healthy diet, practicing portion control and exercising regularly. Do not smoke, and drink only in moderation. It’s also helpful to get plenty of sleep and minimize sources of stress to maximize your chances of maintaining your weight. The happiest liposuction patients are those that stay within 5 to 10 pounds of their weight at the time of their liposuction surgery. If you have additional questions on how to maintain liposuction results, Dr. Greenwald invites you to contact our practice. Please call or email us today.

webmd.com - How to Increase Metabolism After 50 - WebMD

Metabolism is different for everyone. Some people have a faster metabolism, and some have a slower one. But as you age, your metabolism slows down. Metabolic rate is an umbrella term for all the chemical reactions and processes in your body that turn food into energy. If you use more calories than you take in, you might lose weight. If you use fewer calories, you might gain weight. But there’s more to your metabolism than that. As you get older, your body stores more fat and loses muscle due to hormone shifts. These changes become more noticeable after 50. They slow your metabolism. The good news is that you don’t need to live with lower metabolism after you’re 50. A few simple life changes can help you boost it.
