16 weeks post op mommy makeover. Difficult time losing weight. Is it water retention? (photos)

roxie981I appreciate your concern, however it can take as long as six months for a little swelling to resolve. In the meantime, I recommend following up with your plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns. Good luck.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and congratulations on your mommy makeover.  Most likely what you are experiencing is continued soft tissue swelling and water retention.  With an increase in activity level your body will have a tendency of holding on to water as it continues to heal.  I would maintain close follow up with your surgeon but continue to use a compression garment throughout the day to help minimize the excess fluid your body is holding on to.  With additional time you should see continued, steady improvement in weight loss.
