Extreme Hunger Since Liposuction?

The_DollOct 17, 2010
Every since having a big lipo procedure I have found myself to be extrememly hungry. I had my arms, abs (upper/lower), flanks, waist, inner thighs, and chin done. With fat grafting. I'm now 1 month post op and I notice that I'm just extremely hungry all the time. It seems like nothing satisfies my taste buds after eating with 10 minutes I'm getting up going after something else. I was not like this before. I was only 15 pounds overweight b4 surgery.

We do this thru an irregular trchophytic incision that we developed 30 years ago. The hair will grow thru the incision and your hairline can remain the same or lowered if you so desire. This is better than in the hair.

WE have all of our patients wear a comfortable, custom fitted compression garment for 4 weeks after liposuction. I encourage patients to return to their activity schedule ASAP, because I believe it accelerates healing and recovery. Your body position will not affect your liposuction results....

Most patients have redundancy of skin in the armpit and prominence of fullness beyond the bra area. Even the thinnest of individuals have this. Back skin is quite thick. Liposuction does not tighten skin, it only removes fat. So it is normal to pinch and notice more skin after the procedure....
