Swelling or Weight Gain 3 Weeks After Lipo?

User Avatar

I had lipo almost 3 weeks ago. Is it possible for me to have gained weight again. I feel the deposits are like getting fat. I have not kept a strict diet, and my lipo was 3 weeks ago. I noticed that what was really tight is beginning to swell and is hard. Could I have gained the weight? If so, how can I lose it? Really sad! The bathing suit pic was taken 2 weeks after, the other pic was taken 3 weeks.
