My Saddlebags Looked Good Directly Post-op and a Few Days After but Two Weeks Later, They Seem to Be Coming Back. Why is That?

I had lipo done on my lower abdomen, hips, circumferential thighs, lateral buttocks, and inner knees. Everything looked really good albeit it a little lumpy soon after the surgery but two weeks later, my stomach doesn't look as flat which I'm guessing is due to the swelling but I am really concerned with my saddlebags. That was the biggest problem area and the area I really wanted to get rid of and they seem to be coming back. Is this due to swelling too or did the doctor not take out enough?
