Will I Look Like Post Op Day 1 After Swelling Finally Subsides? (photo)

I loved my post lipo results on day 1 - 12 hours post surgery. Its exactly what I had hoped for. I am now week 8 and I know that I still have swelling. There are tender areas still and post exercise I am more swollen. My dr cleared me to stop wearing compression last week. I had Body Jet followed by Smart Lipo. I was told 3000 ccs were removed...not sure if that includes fluid or not. Once the swelling is finally gone should I look like I did day 1 post op? Or is that not reasonable?
