I have read that if u gain weight after lipo it goes to other parts of body.. say I have full body lipo, where will it go? will my butt or boobs or face be extremely huge (to the point it's scary) if I gain weight? (For example it has nowhere else to go)

I don't really see the advantage of gaining weight to enhance the benefits of liposuction. If excess fat exists at your present weight That would be improved by liposuction I see no reason not to proceed.
Swelling and fluid retention always happens after liposucton and a weigh gain of 10 pounds is not unusual However, swelling of one leg is an symptom that you need to tell your doctor about - you should call your surgeon.
Thanks for your picture. If there is no more fluid, I agree that massage and time (3-6 months) could improve this area. The only other remedy would be surgical removal.Good luck.
