Asked By:princessp_1234 in New York, New York

Hello! I had a quick question about liposuction! How long after the procedure do you experience weight gain? I understand that some weight gain is normal, but how long until you can distinguish it from being normal weight gain vs swelling/ fluid retention. Thank you!
