Will I lose weight once the water retention has gone and last bit of swelling?

February 16, 2019
Asked By:leeds2903 in Leeds, GB

I had liposuction at the end of January and was told they removed 6 litres of fat. I’m no expert but based on google that apparently equates to about 12/13 pounds. I’m only 3 weeks into recovery but I have just weighed myself for the first time and I weight exactly the same, is this normal? Will I lose weight once the water retention has gone and last bit of swelling? I know it’s not a weight loss procedure but I did expect some weight loss
