Effect of corticosteroids on liposuction results?

June 6, 2023
Asked By:nienel in Seoul, South Korea

I have heard conflicting information about corticosteroids. It doesn’t make sense that any medication would cause weight gain outside of a caloric surplus, as that is impossible by the laws of physics. But I’ve also heard it causes fat redistribution? If someone had liposuction a happy with and maintaining their results, would a short course of steroids affect their results?could it cause fat gain in the abdomen? I’d rather not take steroids and seek alternative if this is the case.
