Weight gain after tummy tuck and liposuction

I had a tt and lipo of the flanks August 2009.  I did a lot of research before surgery and I was told by doctors and patients that I would not gain fat again in the areas of my tt and lipo. 

I have gained 4 pounds this summer and I swear my lower abdomen looks huge.  How is it possible to gain in the same spot where fat was sucked out?  Have anyone else experienced this after their tt or liposuction?

Thanks in advance for all of your input.

that is unusual. I gained 3 pounds recently and 2/3 went to my fanny, which I like, and the rest went to my back by the bra line, this I don't like. I've since lost 1 1/2 of the pounds.

My girlfriend had a tummy tuck a couple of years ago and gained some weight back last year due to some very stressful events in her life (she has since lost it). Her weight went to the bra line too and her thighs.

Sorry I can't be of any help.

I"ve gained back a few lbs. after my TT last year and it went right to my thighs and arms.  I needed an arm lift anyway but now they look worse than ever!   I thought maybe it went to those places because I didn't have any lipo with my TT.  So who the heck knows anymore.LOL!

Thanks for the replies.  I know a couple of people who gained weight after their tt and lipo and weight was rerouted (if possible) to another area, not the abdomen.  My husband says I look swollen,but I'm worried it's the extra pounds adding on to the belly.

I've been having iron infusion treatments and I was wondering if that could have anything to do with my belly.  I don't know, maybe I'm just looking for an answer to make me feel better, but I'm going to leave it alone for now and just work on losing the extra 4 pounds.

Call the surgeon if you are concerned.
