I am reading from a lot of sources on here that people are gaining 10-15 lbs in other areas of their bodies after having surgery. Several TT patients are gaining it in their thighs. Should this be a big concern?

Answer: Weight gain after surgery. Should this be a big concern? There should be some minimal weight loss following the procedure once the swelling subsides. If you gain weight, the weight will distribute to other areas.

Answer: TUMMY TUCK RESULTS Usually after a tummy tuck, the patient does get a small increase in weight, mostly from fluid retention and lack of physical activity. Once the patient goes back to a regular routine of exercise and a healthy diet, then the excess of weight should be corrected. If the patient gains more weight, the increase on volume is usually in the areas here liposuction was not done, so the patients should be careful not gaining any extra weight after the surgery, that is something a surgeon cannot control, and a healthy lifestyle, like exercising regularly and a healthy diet are really important to follow after a tummy tuck or liposuction.

Answer: Weight-gain after Tummy Tuck Your body's propensity to gain weight after a tummy tuck, or liposuction, does NOT change. However, there is a redistribution of your fat cells after the procedure, such that the tummy carries less fat cells. Therefore, extra calories consumed will be stored in fat cells elsewhere. Aside from that, there is no change in your body's metabolism. If you maintain a neutral diet (calories consumed=calories burned) you would not gain weight elsewhere. The only exception is right after surgery, when you tend to have increased weight due to water retention in areas of swelling. As the swelling resolves, the weight goes away from those areas. Dr. B.

Answer: Weight gain after surgery. Should this be a big concern? Thank you for your question. Some weight may be gained temporarily, due to swelling in the stomach and hips. This resolves over a few months. However, when considering body contouring surgery, it is important to reach your goal weight prior to surgery. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and some excess fat, typically by using liposuction, but these tissues actually don't weigh very much. A tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure, it simply meant to improve your contour and narrow the waistline. When considering anybody contouring surgery, make sure to seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon.
