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

Answer: Weight reduction follwoing #liposuction with #PlasticSurgery Unfortunately, liposuction is not weight reduction surgery. Instead, liposuction helps sculpt the body by taking away fat from unwanted areas. You are in very early stages of recovery following your surgery and are bound to have a lot of tissue swelling. Once the swelling has settled in about 3 to 6 months, you will appreciate the reduction in volume of fat in the treated areas.
