Asked By:Sunshinelane in New York, NY

I got liposuction of my tummy/thighs and had the fat transfer to my hips 3 weeks ago. The healing process has been great overall. However ever since my surgery I've gained 3-4 pounds. I feel heavier & sluggish. My doctor says its b/c of swelling and fluid build up He also told me not to diet or do any strenuous workouts yet because of the fat that was transferred. My questions are when will the swelling go down? Is it normal to gain weight after the surgery? How long does it take to heal fully
