Weighed 113lbs before lipo & two weeks post-op was 108-110 lbs/ very thin. It is now week, look less thin than at 2 weeks and am slowly gaining weight over time (5lbs). I know more final results are at 3 months but the results looked so much better at 2 weeks than they do now. Could i slowly be going back to my original body? Should I still be hopeful that at 3-6 months my body will look better than the 2 weeks image? I workout & eat well but am afraid the whole procedure was a waste.

Thank you for asking about your binder.
Binders can usually go in the washing machine on warm, a short cycle and some soap and then on medium in the dryer. but check with your own surgeon before doing this, when you call to check if it's ok to take it off!

Vascular lasers and radiofrequency lasers have been shown to help in our practice, sometimes meotherapy as well. This is from overly agressive liposuction. Best, Dr. Emer.
Hello, Thanks for sharing your query. Pain ,bruising and swelling are common after liposuction and usually peak between 2-4 days when the tumescent action wears off. You will see improvement in all symptoms over weeks. Consult your operating surgeon regarding pain medications.
