Heavier After Lipo
I had liposuction performed 10 weeks ago and prior to this my heaviest weight was 55kg. I weighed myself the other day and i now weigh 59kg after very regular exercising and eating well for the last 2 weeks. I dont look like i have put on weight (especially after i wear the garment at night i look skinnier), but i dont understand why I have gone up 4kg after surgery. I had my whole thighs done, saddle bags, love handles and lower abdomen..

I measure my patients weekly, and keep a record in the chart with a copy to them so they can follow their progress. People can lose lots of bulges and never see any weight change.

Liposuction and weight gain
The weight that is lost from liposuction removal of fat is minimal as fat has a very low density and weight. There is much fluid, swelling, edema after surgery that even when not visible, the tissues become heavier from the fluid. This decreases over time. If you still have concerns, then you might want to see a nutritionist as a calorie count could be enlightening. Unless you took medication before surgery that you no longer take, such as thyroid supplements, or quit smoking just...
