I don't really see the advantage of gaining weight to enhance the benefits of liposuction. If excess fat exists at your present weight That would be improved by liposuction I see no reason not to proceed.

Thanks for your picture. If there is no more fluid, I agree that massage and time (3-6 months) could improve this area.  The only other remedy would be surgical removal.Good luck. Earl Stephenson, Jr, M.D., DDS, FACS

It your stage of convalescence there is still swelling which may very well be asymmetric. There is no reason to worry about this until the swelling is totally resolved. This will take a number of months.

10 days after liposuction is much too early to start worrying about the final result. Swelling may have totally reoccupied the volume from which the fat was removed. Final resolution of swelling will take months.
