Adipose tissue question?

Hi I was wondering if you have the same amount of fat cells always no matter what your weight is or if you are adding on to the ones you have and subtracting them as you gain and lose wieght. It is my understanding the cells you allready have are merely expanding with fat gain.

    You can never lose fat cells, but you can gain them. For example, when you gain a significant amount of weight, your fat cells swell in size, and you can also gain new fat cells, and those cells can swell in size. When you lose weight, your fat cells shrink, but fat cells can't disappear.

    Therefore, with weight gain, fat cells expand, and are also created. With weight loss, fat cells shrink, but do not disappear (except with liposuction). Lipo can be a bad option if someone regains weight at a later time, because fat cells will move, or be created in different area of the body, causing lumpiness.

    Hope this was helpful.
