The main reason why i'm so concerned about all of this is because I recently had plastic surgery (tummy tuck w/ liposuction) so what I don't want to happen is have new fat cells be created where I just lost them...I do understand fat redistribution happens but this isn't the same as the creation of NEW fat cells.
Anyway, I think now or within the next 6 months would be a perfect time to do PM because apparently, following the removal of fat cells your body finds a new location to store fat in (apparently, again the body does not like to work harder storing fat throughout the body so it finds one location and packs it in) so my thought is, while my "body" or whatever is finding the location, PM will kind of trick my fat cells into going to my breasts, permanently. Good theory right? Hopefully it can work that way!

It is my understanding that after liposuction, new fat cells don't form where you had it removed ever, though not all fat cells can be removed from the general stomach area and those that can continue to hold more fat if you continue to eat more calories than you burn.
The issue with gaining weight is that women typically burn less calories than men, if you play around with a fitness calculator, you can see the difference between male and female for the same height and weight. Taking PM seems to have put me more towards the women numbers for base calories burned with no exercise, but not totally there. I personally am trying to lose weight, and have had a very hard time doing so since starting PM, though I haven't gained any either, and there has been significant redistribution, clothes fit me quite differently then they did 2 years ago. It can be done, but you are either going to cut calories some or exercise a bit more if you don't want to gain weight. I think the exercise more is likely the better way to get redistribution to the breasts, it has to be burned from the areas you don't want it.

Once you reached your desired results, however doesn't the fat that redistributed itself return to where it was before and then the breast tissue stays?
