Answer: Is it normal post lipo for you not lose weight but only inches? Lipo can make dramatic changes to body contour, but you cannot lose any dramatic amount of weight with it.You will likely only lose a few pounds from the liposuction procedures. I know of no evidence in the literature that fat redistributes after liposuction in the absence of weight loss. Liposuction can reduce cell number and volume. Weight loss can reduce cell volume.

Answer: Weight Loss after Liposuction Fat is not dense so it does not carry tremendous weight. It is common after liposuction to have dramatic visual results but not so dramatic results on the scale. Hope this helps!
