University of Colorado researchers have verified something that will bring great schadenfraude to some and great anguish to others. Apparently, when you have liposuction performed, the fat stays off permanently in that particular area, since even the cells that manufacture fat get removed. But the body still wants you to have fat at a certain level, so it begins to manufacture and store fat in other areas instead to make up for the difference. The lower abdomen and thighs (common lipo targets) stayed thin, but fat reappeared within one year in the upper abdomen, shoulders, and triceps. The new deposits aren’t just unseemly but also dangerous because they can be deep inside and cause heart disease. Even more amazing is that when these results are explained to liposuction candidates, only half decided against having the procedure while half went ahead. So, “This isn’t going to work, it may be dangerous, and it’s certainly going to be expensive. Do you still want to go ahead.” “Of course!”
