It is very difficult to assess final outcome so early after surgery with all of the swelling and bruising.  It will take months before you can appreciate the result.  I would try to email or call the surgeon with your concerns.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Too early to judge on the final result. You are still at the healing stage. The area in your lower back will be still bruised and swollen and this will take 8-12 weeks to settle. Wear your garment and keep your follow up with your surgeon.You have to give your body at least 12 weeks to start seeing results and final results can take 3-6 months depending the way your body heals
