4 weeks post liposuction, is it normal to feel this thirsty?

Question

I had liposuction of my abdomen completed 4 weeks ago and I am always thirsty. Nothing quenches my thirst. And obviously this causes me to urinate excessively too. Is this related to the liposuction?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

yes its normal to feel hungry and thirsty after liposuction this typically resolves by 3 months. I suggest you see your physician about post surgical care and at this point be back in the gym enhancing your surgical outcomes.  Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question! It's rather difficult to fully assess your situation without an in-person exam. However, you should definitely keep hydrated after liposuction.  Your body needs hydration as you recover so make sure to drink plenty of water as opposed to coffee or soda. You might also want to consult your plastic surgeon to determine whether any medications you might be taking are causing frequent urination or excessive thirst. 
An in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon would be the best way to assess your situation and guarantee an individualized medical advice. Best of luck!

Hello, thank you for your question.  I cannot think of a clear relationship between your liposuction and increased thirst. But if you are experiencing these symptoms you should see your GP  and get your urine tested and also your blood sugar.
