Gained Weight and Look Bigger 3 Months After Regular Lipo?

MAmommyof2
I am 32. Regularly work out and eat healthy. But I still had some extra fat in my belly and flanks. My BMI was 20% Had liposuction 3 months ago. I gained 6 pounds with the procedure comparing my previous weight to when I weighed my self after the procedure. I was badly swollen. To this day I still havent shed the pounds off. And even though I have unswelled a lot I still am bigger than previous to the surgery. Even after returning to my regular exercise regime. My Dr cant explain what is going on.
