Liposuction of saddlebags
There are women who obtain very nice results with liposuction of less than 250ccs of suprnatant fat removed with liposuction. It depends on your build, bone structure, muscle and amount of fat preoperatively. Swelling can make it look no better than before liposuction until time reduces the engorgement.

Seven days after surgery is too early to assess your result. There is certainly swelling present which will take several weeks to resolve. You should notice improvement in your contour over the next several weeks.

Liposuction - 500 cc's, 7 Days, No Result Yet - Should I Be Worried?
Hi Any in Miami, FL,
Well, the good news is that it is much too early - 7 days - to make an assumption about the result that you'll get. I tell my patients that it's 4-6 weeks for 85%, 3 months for 95% and 6 months for all. Or even longer in some cases. So what you look like at 7 days, particularly for the saddle bags (some parts show results faster, like the love handles - also called the flanks or hips) is not necessarily anything to be concerned about.

At one week you still have a lot of swelling. You will need to wait about six weeks or sometimes longer to see your final result. Dont get discouraged at this stage. Depending on your size, 500 cc of fat removal can show a significant improvement.

Way too early to tell what your results will be like. 250cc per side would give nice improvement for many patients. if you had 500cc per side, that should do very well. be patient and check back with your surgeon.
