Gaining Weight After Chin/Neck Liposuction

Typically, the goal is not to gain weight.  But if you gain weight, there is no guarantee where the fat will deposit.  You may see a change in a 5lb. increase, and it may take 25lbs.  There is no way to know what your genetic map tells your body to do.

There is no body liposuction that can't be defeated with enough weight gain.  Having said that, generally weight gain limited to about 5-10% of body mass can be OK.  This often comes down to precisely where your body tends to store fat.

It is best to maintain or if possible lose a bit of weight after SmartLipo to help protect the investment you have made in the procedure.  It is impossible to predict how much fat would go to the neck if you were to gain significant weight after having had SmartLipo.

Ideally, if one is going to go through the expense and time of any surgical procedure such as Liposculpture one should make every attempt not to gain weight.  There is no set amount of weight gain to determine what will “undo” the effects of the Liposculpture which you underwent.  This depends greatly on many factors, including body type, skin elasticity and skin tone, as well as body mass.  

This is impossible to predict since everyone carries weight differently, however, since a lot of the fat cells in that area would have been removed, it is likely that it will be more difficult to put on weight there than it was prior to the procedure.  So, if a 10 pound weight gain used to show up under your chin, it might take a 15+ pound weight gain to show up in your chin after having surgery.  Liposuction doesn't mean you won't ever gain weight-- it's just that if you do, it is usually distributed more evenly vs. all going to your typical, hereditary areas.  

All said, you will enjoy better and longer results if you keep your weight stable after having any kind of liposuction.
