Unfortunately , No: Once fatty degeneration stars liver cells and architecture of liver will never return (reverts) to complete normal state , how ever with proper diet , care ( by avoiding causative agents alcohol drugs , etc ) it is possible to hold the disease at this stage & some reversal , and delay further damage to liver cells that leads to cirrhosis.
