I had traditional liposuction to my flanks on 2-10-12. I had a waist measurement of 35" pre surgery and although my PS said he took 500ccs from each side I am not seeing results like I thought I would and still feel swollen. I feel like the surgery barely made a difference at all. My question is how long does swelling last. When can I expect to see final results and is swelling worse after a long day at work. I am still bruised around my flank area and very tender. Help!
