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: Wait for your weight Laser Lipo is associated with weight gain immediately after the procedure which is caused by retained tumescent (numbing). Between 4-6 liters of fluid is infused under your skin and approximately fifty percent is removed during the aspiration portion of your procedure, which means 2-3 liters of fluid remains and this is approximately equivalent to 4-5 pounds. This residual fluid drains w/in 48 hours. Weight gained after this may follow from retained inflammatory fluid, lack of exercise, excess caloric intake, or high salt diet. Of course medical conditions (like hypothyroidism) may develop randomly and so you should seek an opinion from your primary care doctor.

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.
