Liposuction only removes a portion of
fat cells in the target area, and the remaining fat cells always have the
potential to expand and contract with weight gain and loss.Generally, because you have less fat cells,
the potential for weight gain in the target area is less than it was,...
We do not have the benefit of seeing your before photos. You cannot judge your results if you "just had liposuction." It may take 2-4 months for the final result, so please hang in there and follow all of your surgeon's recommendations. Best wishes.
Hi there, constipation is very common in your situation. I am sorry for how frustrated you are. I would advise you to speak with your surgeon directly for their specific recommendations. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water and consuming food high in fiber. Best of luck. -Dr. Coan
