Losing my Hourglass After Liposuction?

momocha
I recently had vaser liposuction done on my upper and lower abs and love handles, and it has been 2 weeks since my procedure. I used to have a very obvious hourglass figure and after the surgery, I feel as if I've lost my hourglass quite a bit. Could this be because of swelling/fluid build up in adjacent areas? I realize I still have quite a bit of time until the final result is seen but is the figure I'm seeing now a basic outline of what I'll look like in later months?
