It has been almost 3 weeks since my liposuction procedure. I'm concerned that I may have gained weight again, as the areas that were treated with lipo feel like they are accumulating fat. I haven't strictly followed a diet, and my lipo was 3 weeks ago. I've noticed that the previously tight areas are starting to swell and feel hard. Could it be weight gain? If so, what can I do to lose it? I'm feeling really down about it. The bathing suit picture was taken 2 weeks after the procedure, and the other picture was taken 3 weeks after.
It appears to be swelling. It is important to allow a few weeks for the swelling to subside before assessing your results. During this time, it is recommended to engage in light activity, stay hydrated, and minimize salt intake, as these measures can help reduce water retention.
The swelling you're experiencing is likely due to fluid retention rather than fat. I recommend monitoring your diet and, if you haven't already, resuming the use of a compression garment. It may take several weeks to see a reduction in swelling and up to six months for improved retraction and tightness.
Temporary hardening of the operated fat is common after liposuction and usually resolves within a month or two. Following a strict diet after liposuction can promote healthy eating habits and a new lifestyle.
Swelling and lumps after lip injections are normal and can be managed by resting, elevating the head, avoiding high impact activity, and applying ice. Dissolving injections may increase swelling, and patience is recommended.
