After liposuction, (tummy), does the fat automatically start to return?

Asssuming a better-than average healthy diet and life-style, regular excercise, and non-obesity, but a stubborn bulge in the abdomen that even "bums and tums" regimes won't shift, would liposuction of the excess tummy-fat be a permanent answer? - or would it, (like ordinary diets) simply result in the metabolic system returning to starvation mode, with resultant storage of calories as fat?

Thanks Zestful One. That helps.... I'd love to hear from someone who's actually had it done... but thanks anyway.

it does for some people, even some people with healthy lifestyles...

here is an article for you that states 65% of patients have fat return...it also states that the vast majority of them are happy they had the procedure so it really depends on how important it is to you:
