Why is my waist measurement the same after liposuction?

Even when swelling has substantially subsided the actual measurement of the waist may not change much. A better barometer of the benefits of liposuction of the pre-and postop photographs. Liposuction is a body contour operation.

Hello and thanks for your question. There are many variables here. Its hard to answer accurately without looking at you before and after pictures. Although  your weight is heavier on the scale, how do you look and feel. Do your clothes fit better? Also, weight can fluctuate 2-3 pounds from day to day depending on fluid intake, having a bowel movement , where you are in a menstrual cycle etc. A more accurate gauge is how your clothes fit. How do you look. Another key factor is that you were augmented with moderately large implants. From my experience, having performed approximately 150-200 augmentations a year for the past 25 years, patient's weigh an average of 3-5 more pounds on the scale after this procedure. If you are happy with your results, I wouldn't put much "weight" on a number on the scale. Best regards. 

You did not mention when you had the surgery. If you had it recently, then it is likely do to swelling. Best of luck.
