Weight Gain 6 months after Liposuction, if I lose the weight will I see my original results?

MargotRoxanne
6 months post lipo (inner/outer thighs), I had incredible results, no cellulite, etc. Soon after, I had a couple of successive surgeries prohibiting weight lifting or cardio for combined months and I was prescribed several week+ courses of prednisone. I gained about 25 lbs. I am exercising daily and on a low carb diet now... when I lose the weight, will my previous results be visible, or have I essentially "wasted" my lipo procedure? Thank you for your answers!
