Is the swelling above the hip bone normal after flank lipo? (Photo)

txnicole06
A year ago I had a tummy tuck decided to go back and get lipo of the flanks, two weeks ago, along with some scar revision. My concern is that now I look more than ever like I have a muffin top! I was curvy before, but I definitely did not have this tube looking tire around my waist before, right above the scar on both sides. Is this normal swelling? I feel like even with some swelling I shouldn't look...well....deformed. Help! Thank you!
