Can I take cyproheptadine after lipo, due to lose of appetite?

Question

Hey, I had lipo 360 about 3 weeks ago. However, my appetite has decreased. I don't want to lose anymore pounds. I was wondering if I took medicine (cyproheptadine) to help my appetite increase, will it do any harm to my body. At this point, I am having regrets, because I am having a very hard time eating.

Dear pbro0818,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thank you for your question. It is it-to your surgeon as everybody has different post op protocols. At this stage it is OK if it is my patient

Congratulations on your liposuction, pbro0818!
What you’re experiencing is not uncommon. Some patients report loss of appetite immediately after liposuction as their body adjusts to changes in fat levels. It can cause your metabolism to slow down, so you don’t feel hungry most of the time.
As for taking cyproheptadine, I think it’s best to ask this to your reputable and board-certified plastic surgeon first. At four weeks, you can also start doing light exercises, which can increase your appetite.
Best of luck!
