I was awake through out the procedure and they used tumescent fuild and I was just given local! Because I was awake and it defiantly was not pain free! I did move around a lot and complain abit so I feel the doctor cut it short and didn't remove as much fat. I asked him and he said he removed half a litre.... Is this to little? I'm a ideal weight at the moment My main issue is I look double the size I was to begin with. Is this normal? Is this just swelling?

Hello. Great question. I am sorry for your post operative results. A personal examination is needed to properly address what your lumps are. I will suggest scheduling a follow up appointment with your surgeon for further assistance.
Thanks for the question. It’s too early to comment over the result. First couple of weeks after the surgery you can back to work and couple of weeks later your permanent recovery will start. It’s possible to see some major changes in Liposuction results till the end of 12 months recovery....
I agree with the other posters it appears to be 3-4 liters, quite blood tinged too. I think that you should as the surgeon because they are the experts who would know. The key in liposuction is not how much is removed but how much is needed to leave behind for the best outcome.
