Is It Normal to Have a 10 Pound Weight Gain 5 Days After BBL & Lipo?

Swelling and a 10 lb weight gain 5 days after Brazilian buttlift could be anticipated.  As you diurese over the next several days, your weight will reduce accordingly.

It comes as an unexpected, even scary, surprise to patients that more often than not gain weight immediately after having surgery, including liposuction.  Although it seems counterintuitive, it is actually expected to gain weight because of the swelling (fluid retention) incurred by the surgical truama.  Usually starting around the third or fourth day after surgery the body will start to diurese (let go of the fluid via excessive urination) and weight loss will slowly but surely ensue.  By maintaining a low salt diet you will help hasten this process.  Glad to help...RAS 

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation is normal.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Yes, it is normal to gain weight in the immediate post-operative period.  This is water weight due to post-operatie swelling.  Your body will mobilize the fluid over the next several weeks and you will urinate out the extra fluid.  Once you have completely healed, and your surgeon gives you the okay, you should resume your exercise regimen to get back on track.

It is common to retain fluid after surgery, and a 10 lb weight gain is not unusual. It will go away in about a month.
