Is it normal to have only lost 4 inches in 4 months post smart lipo?

Asked By:nauticagirl360 in Charleston, SC

I received smart lipo on May 22, 2015 and I measured at 40 inches pre surgery. It is now 4 months post surgery and I am now at 36 inches. I haven't been wearing any compression garments since I was told by my surgeon to take them off a few days post surgery. When I went for my post op appointment my surgeon told me that all of my swelling is just swollen muscles. I feel like I should've lost more inches in that time frame. Am I doing something wrong or not doing anything that I should be doing?
