The body produces fat cells when you are young and this production stops at puberty. When you gain or lose weight the cells get bigger or smaller; the number of cells does not change. Liposuction permanently removes fat cells. They do not come back and new fat cells are not produced. You can, however, gain weight in the remaining fat cells. But you will gain it proportionately over your entire body; it will not be disproportionately added to your "problem" area anymore.

According to my doctor and the research I have done, yes, but that is only if you don't keep up with a diet/exercise program. The fat cells will be gone in the areas that you had liposuctioned, but that doesn't mean the remaining ones won't grow larger or that fat will accumulate elsewhere in your body.
