Will a minor weight gain ruin liposuction results?

February 1, 2014
Asked By:renata_clara in United Kingdom, GB

I had liposuction to my hips and outer thighs two years ago and have kept my weight stable. Recently I have gained 2kg (4.4 lbs) following an operation (I'm 165cm, medium/small build, usually weighing 132 lbs). I'm worried if this weight gain will ruin my liposuction results from 2 years ago and distort my shape. If so when I lose the weight should I return to my normal shape (which I achieved from liposuction) or keep this distorted shape? Thank you for your advice. It is very much appreciated.
