did you gain weight after vaser?

By KateLondon on 22 Nov 2011

I know there was a similar thread about regular liposuction- and now, a week after vaser liposelection, I'm petrified that it's the same with this procedure! has anyone had vaser with long lasting results and no metabolic problems?

Hi,
I had vaser a year ago I lost lots of weight post op then put on lots of weight.

I Putney down to how used to measure whether I had put on weight or not to how flat my stomach was....yet now my stomach is flat I eat more of the wrong things as don't see a difference...however have put on weight overall...

I'm going for a revision and am hoping I won't put on weight again like I did a year ago.

Actually, there has been a study which supports the theory that within a year, people can gain weight in other areas --something about the body compensating for the fat cells removed. You have to be super careful of what is consumed in terms of calories after this procedure

its definitely not a matter of swelling. My friend looked good once the swelling subsided at first, then she plainly gained weight. She never had problems with her weight before, her surgery was for the purpose of a brazilian butt lift.

This link talks about regular liposuction. Noone refers to having the Vaser liposuction. I too have had the same complaints about traditlional liposuction, but I just had the vaser done because I hear it is so much better! I will keep you posted on my results

Hi Kate,

I haven't heard that before. Can you share a link to where you read this?

What I have heard is that you might gain weight immediately after lipo because of all the swelling. I don't know if this is the case with your friend though.
