How Do You Not Lose Weight After Liposuction?

mto601811Jul 13, 2013
I had tickle lipo on my abs & love handles a month ago. I notice a positive difference. However, I weigh the same as I did before- 178. I understand tickle lipo is NOT a weight reduction procedure, but if a doctor sucks out a couple of liters of fat, how come one doesn't lose weight from it? I've actually increased my workout & reduce my calorie intake post-procedure. I read it's hard to lose weight post-lipo because the body 'freaks' out over the fat loss and makes it hard to lose more.

Thank you for your question and picture. It is hard to tell because I am unsure of the areas that were liposuctioned. You may need to get other areas done. Typically, if you gain weight your the areas that you did not get lipo on will get bigger. It is easier for existing that sells to get...
