Six weeks post liposuction but same body fat percentage: Is this normal?

Congratulations on having your surgery! I tell my patients that liposuction is a body contouring procedure and not necessarily a weight loss procedure.  It is normal to not see a big change on the scale especially early after surgery as your body is going through the healing process.We don't usually take post-operative photos until 3 months after surgery to allow adequate time for healing and for the swelling to resolve.  Your results should continue to slowly improve over the first year assuming you keep exercising and eating right.  Continue to follow up with your plastic surgeon as he/she will be the best one to evaluate your recovery process. 

I doubt liposuction is going to change significantly your body fat percentage. However it six weeks there will still be swelling in additional weight because of that swelling.

Thank you for the question.Yes, it's normal. You're body should recover little by little as the swelling should go down eventually. This can take from 4-12 weeks to see actual results. Wear your garment and a couple of lymphatic massages are recommended after this procedure. Always follow your PS's post op advice.Dr. Campos
