Not necessarily: Feeling excess hunger after liposuction does not occur commonly, but i wouldn't characterize it as "weird". Sometimes after recovering from trauma the body has an increased demand for nutrition during the healing process. This can lead to increase in appetite to provide extra needed calories.

No.: No, any surgical procedure or other form of “trauma” can cause your body to “crave” additional nutrition/hydration. It is important, however, after any type of body contouring surgery to maintain a healthy diet and exercise program.
