I'm one week post op liposuction on inner and outer thighs and knees. I've followed normal recover course. I thought with being relatively inactive compared to usual I'd eat less to keep from gaining.. But I'm HUNGRY! I think I'm actually eating more! I don't want to eat my results away! Why am I hungry when I'm inactive? Am I going to undo my results by eating more and gaining from it?? Help! And thanks! I'm a perfect weight before. Did this for a small pocket of fat. Not for wt loss.

If the solution to the problem is only liposuction then expect to pay 1000 $1500 depending on the type of anesthesia and other variables. If a true lift is needed this is an altogether different situation and may be complicated by other anatomic issues as well.
