Swelling After Liposuction -3 Days Post-Op?

craig1980
From reading this forum i am awsre of the healing process & the time required post lipo. However i am worried that i now have a new crease above my belly button. Ihad large lipo 3 days ago on my hips, uppet & lower abdomen & chest. The result on my chest was immediately visible however my lower ab was & is badly swollen to the point where it looks bigger than pre-op. The Dr said he removed 4.8 litres & i know this is a lot, i am concerned that he has removed more from the upper ab than lower.
