Hello Interloper!

A 2011 study by Teri L. Hernandez et al. at the University of Colorado School of Medicine set out to examine whether fat returns after removal by liposuction and if so, where it returns to.
32 healthy, non obese women were enrolled onto the study with disproportionate adipose tissue depots on the lower abdomen, hips, or thighs. Study participants agreed to not make lifestyle changes whilst enrolled.
The study found that ‘after one year … following suction lipectomy, body fat was restored and redistributed to the abdomen’.
