It's been 10 days and I don't seem to see much of a difference. The strap was taken off yesterday and the skin feels quite hard but it looks as if there's still a lot of fat. Could it just be swelling and I'm just over worrying or does it actually seem like not much was removed. The photo with the beard is the one after liposuction as I haven't shaved yet and it does feel painful to shave in that area. Thanks in advance for any answers.
