Liposuction Mother of 2 - Edina, MN

I'm very excited to have Tumescent Liposuction done on July 1st, but also scared because it will be my first surgery. I'm going to have it done by Dr. Scott Ross out of Minnesota. He's been a Dermatologist/Cosmetic Surgeon for 30+ years.

I'm 26 years old and have had 2 children. My stomach has drove me crazy for 7 years now since I gained almost 70lbs with my son.
I'm under the impression that there is a chance my skin will not be completely tight, but with my age, I hope it will retract back and become tighter over time.
My biggest concerns with this are the pain and swelling after. I have only got work off for 9 days and am hoping that will be enough.
Would love any insight on how to help the pain/swelling heal faster and also the best methods for fixing lumps/bumps that may appear.

Had my surgery on Tuesday at 730am. They took out 1300cc. I felt fine and was home by 11am. That day was okay. I should have slept more, but think the meds kept me awake.
My doctor prescribed me 325mg vicodin. It took the edge off just fine.
I slept through that night and woke up at 830am. I felt great. My biggest complaint is how swollen my mons pubis is. It is bruised and plump ha.
This morning I woke with the worst pain yet. The vicodin has taken some edge off, but I'm going to need more from my doctor ( only got 20 ). Here are some pictures so far. I'm liking my results. My fuppa seems almost gone and you can see how swollen and bruised my public area is.

Feeling frustrated. Don't seem to see much for results. How long does it take to notice? Need to set up appt to get stitches out next week. Hoping the dr will have some answers for me. Pain is fine just tight and swollen didn't need any vicodin yesterday, tylenol was fine.

Really am hoping I'm just going through a normal depressed state after surgery with mo results yet. My hopes are dwindling. Really want this to work.

Uhhh... :(

By looking at pictures I see results, but in the mirror, I'm not as happy. Still swollen Dr says. Hoping he's right.
