Weight Gain After Liposuction Procedure

After I had Liposuction surgery done a year ago, I feel as if I've been constantly gaining weight. I hardly have any bad eating habits, so I don't understand the weight gain after Liposuction. Why is this happening, and what can I do about it?

Weight gain and liposuction

Liposuction is targeted and permanent removal of fat cells. Once those fat cells are removed they do not grow back. That is not to say that after someone receives liposuction they cannot gain weight or have the area that was improved by lipo get worse. There is no connection from a physiologic standpoint between the removal of fat cells and weight gain a year later. What is more likely is that the weight gain is because of the things that cause all of us to gain weight: Unfortunately there's no easy answer to weight gain. Talk to your doctor, try a sensible diet with reasonable exercise. I hope this helps.
