True Weight After Lipo? How Much of My Weight is Actually Swelling?

Thank you for the question.

It is normal for patients to “retain” fluid after surgery. This will throw off your weight calculations until the fluid is mobilized ( and excreted). This may take a few weeks to complete.

Best wishes for the remainder of your recovery (and stay off the scale for a while).

Thank you for your question. It is common to increase weight in the first days/wekks after surgery because of the overall swelling. No worries , just wear your post op garter, do your massages and drink lots of water. The swelling will reduce in the next weeks. Best of luck
