I know a few ppl who had their surgery done by the same surgeon and experienced weight gain. Me personally hit a weight gain of 25 pounds. Prior to the surgery I was fit and weighed about 160. I have never weighed more than before until after the surgery I just kept gaining weight. My whole body got a new apple shape that I didn't have before a well.

Answer: Weight gain Thanks for the question, early on after liposuction the areas of lipo can act like a sponge and soak up water. This weight can be significant, most people on a low salt diet this should go away soon. I have seen patients require diuretics before. Alternatively there could be another medical cause of weight gain, probably best to see your primary care just to be careful

Answer: Very Strange - See Your Surgeon Up to 5 liters of tumescent fluid is used during the laser liposuction procedure, so experiencing some fluid retention post treatment is normal and could result in an initial weight gain of 2-6 pounds. This is a temporary weight gain and as your body heals; you will naturally drain any residual fluid through your lymphatic system.
