(13-05-11) Fat removed by liposuction returns

A new study has revealed that the fat removed by liposuction returns and gets
"redistributed upstairs" – around the shoulders, arms and upper abdomen after
a year.

Rudolph Leibel, an obesity researcher at the University of Columbia, told The
New York Times that the body controls the number of fat cells as carefully as
it controls the amount of fat. When a fat cell dies, it grows a new one to
replace it, reports the Independent.

Liposuction, however, surgically destroys the fishnet structure under the
skin, which may be why the fat cells don't regrow in the place from which they
were removed. Instead the body compensates for their loss by growing new fat
cells in other areas.
