I had Lipodissolve 5 days ago, and I'm very swollen, it seems from fluid retention. I've gained 10 pounds. Is this normal? I had injections on the back of my legs.

Hi, thank you for your question! I do not recommend receiving lipo dissolve while pregnant. There is not enough research done to show that it is safe. Any injections during pregnancy may have a risk of affecting the child. I would recommend waiting until you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
Usually any bumps (contour irregularities) or bruises from lipodissolve treatments are resolved by six months. If you have pigmented skin, the bruising may last for a longer period of time, but should continue to fade. Massaging will sometimes help to smooth out bumps and you may consider...
Weight gain is possible after any cosmetic procedure but that is caused by the patient not exercising and increasing their caloric intake. There is something else going on with a person who gains 100 pounds? Please have them check with their doctor.
