So I had a breast augmentation 500cc and lipo to back bra line and back and side flanks. The morning of my surgery on 4/29/I5 i weight myself and I was 158, then the next morning after surgery I weight myself again and I was 143 so I had lost 15pounds from my surgery but then 2-3 days later I was 162 and until now 5/11 I am still 162 so that's 4 more pounds then before my surgery and I can't seem to loose that weight even if I don't eat and now I just feel so fat :(

Answer: Weigh fluctuation after surgery 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.

Answer: Weight changes after surgery 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.
