Weight Gain During Lipo Recovery?

April 3, 2013
Asked By:comomof4

If I put on extra weight (more than just from swelling...say 5-8 lbs) during first month or two of recovery from thigh and lower abd lipo, what effect will it have on my results? Since I can't workout for 3 weeks (due to fat transfer to breasts) and am a sweet lover, I know I am gaining weight. Will it cause more dimpling where lipo was done? Ugh!!
