I was looking weight rapidly. 17 lbs and within the last couple days I gained 8 back. Is this caused by swelling? I had to take a few weeks off from work as the pain was severe. I had upper/lower abs, inner/outer thighs, flanks and lower back done. I haven't eaten much and am drinking alot of water. I also have had loose stools for the past week. Activity has been low due to the pain. I'm am 5'9, started at 180 lbs and currently 172 lbs. Surgeon said he removed alot of fat.
Answer: Temporary retention of fluid after liposuction can increase body weight temporarily. Retention of fluid after any surgical procedure is normal. As swelling decreases this fluid will be mobilized eliminated accompanied by weight loss.

Answer: Post Operative Weight Loss After Liposuction It is only 2 weeks after surgery and your weight is going to fluctuate. I would start your exercise and diet routine, and once that is consistent for 3 months you should know what your new ideal weight is going to be. You are currently very swollen and this takes months to go away. I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Emer.

Answer: PO Liposuction weight gain.... Thank you for the question. It is not unusual to notice a gain in weight after liposuction due to the inflammation and possible fluid retention. You should start noticing an improvement over the next several weeks. It can take at least 8-12 weeks for swelling to subside. Not to worry, you are early in the recovery process. If you have concerns I would recommend discussing your concerns with your surgeon. Best of Luck.

Answer: Liposuction and swelling Because of swelling the water retained may cause weight gain. This should take some time to equilibrate and your weight should go back down to normal.
