What Results Should I See 1 Week After Lipo Surgery?

i had laser lipo with optic fiber a week ago. at chest and abdomen. even after the operation noticeable changes appeared to my chest but the belly looks exactly the same as BEFORE the operation. 1) is it ok? 2) how long do i have to wait to see actually that my belly is smaller? (i have to mention that i had very little fat on my abdomen, and the doctor said it remained just skin on the surgery table)
