Why did I Lose weight day after lipo, but then gained 3 days after?

Your weight may fluctuate as you heal. This is often due to swelling and fluid retention. Best to discuss this with your surgeon if you are concerned.

Fluctuations in weight are common after major surgery, especially after procedures that cause swelling, such as liposuction.My gut instinct says you may have used two different scales when you noticed a 15-pound weight loss.This type of weight loss would be unusual with liposuction, especially for someone your size.After liposuction, the body typically goes through a period of swelling.We refer to this as third spacing. As the swelling resolves, weight tends to slowly go down.It is not unusual for someone to gain a few pounds immediately after liposuction.Your breast augmentation should've added just over two pounds.I suggest maintaining a healthy diet with small meals throughout the day.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
