Not sure if this is clear. Our bodies are supposed to replace all the cells every 7 or so years. Does that mean the fat too? Or when someone loses 20 year weight, are you getting rid of 20 year old fat?

    So then I’m curious what happens with liposuction as the fat cells are literally removed. Does your body create more, or no longer store fat, or does it get stored somewhere else?

      It gets stored elsewhere if you continue to consume more than you use, like the fat cells deeper in your abdomen where it’s much more dangerous to the health of your organs
