Im 9 days post liposuction surgery. I had my lower tummy, inner thighs, lovehandels done.The bottom/middle of my back is really swollen as is my lower tummy, i kinda look weird.

Its only been 9 days since surgery, i feel better this week, but dont look any different. Im very swollen, especially bottom back mid area, i thought i would have better shape.

When does the swelling go down, i really want to see my new shape? Can any please advise or has anyone experienced something similar?

Not sure if it was worth it yet, as it is early days

Here's a related question that may help: Liposuction swelling

Swelling can last up to 6 months, according to most of the doctors in that thread.

Good luck with your recovery!

Yea, its awful, i get married next May, so im hoping ill be "normal by then" I return to work on Monday next week, and im trying to find clothes to hide how swollen i am..I guess i will need to be patienced. Ive read alot of comments on this and everyone seems to on the same boat. I also had breast aug and im really happy with the results..
Sweetie it's only been 9 days!! Give it time, I'm 4 weeks post lipo in same areas and i could see my shape at 2 weeks but the swelling is still there. All I can say is MASSAGES WORK! Also a little walking around helps flush the fluid out of your muscles. Mainly give it time tho, I promise it'll be worth it!]
