Weight gain after body contouring surgery

Michael A. Bogdan, MD answers: Weight gain after Liposuction?

After I had Liposuction surgery done a year ago, I feel I've been constantly gaining weight. I hardly have any bad eating habits, so I don't understand the weight gain after Liposuction. Why is this happening, and what can I do about it?

Dear Lklugirl,

I don't know of any good metabolic reason that you would be gaining weight after liposuction.  I would rather think it is related to the normal metabolic changes associated with getting older or possibly you relaxed your diet  / exercise regime a bit after the surgery.  One thing I am certain of it that weight change will negatively impact the results of your liposuction surgery.  It's not the answer you want to hear, but I would suggest increasing your exercise program and monitoring your diet.
