How Long to See Results After Pubic Liposuction?

I had pubic liposuction 4 and a half months ago, surgeon removed 400cc of fat. It was totally flat straight after surgery but as expected was VERY swollen the next day. Took around a month to settle to the size it was pre-op but no reduction since,so it looks exactly as it did before. Some days I think it looks more swollen than others. My surgeon was thrilled he managed to remove so much fat and promised good results. Will it ever reduce to the size it was straight after surgery?
