Hello. Great question. A personal examination and/or images are needed to properly address your concerns. Please schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

Hello. Great question. I will suggest discussing any post op instructions directly with your surgeon. Every surgeon has their own post op protocol. Keep following up with your surgeon.

Hello. Great question. I am sorry for your post op difficulties. How long ago was your procedure? Swelling misguides the results of your procedure. Keep following our surgeon's post op instructions.

Thanks for the question. It’s too early to comment over the result. First couple of weeks after the surgery you can back to work and couple of weeks later your permanent recovery will start. It’s possible to see some major changes in Liposuction results till the end of 12 months recovery....

I  agree with the other posters it appears to be 3-4 liters, quite blood tinged too.  I think that you should as the surgeon because they are the experts who would know.  The key in liposuction is not how much is removed but how much is needed to leave behind for the best outcome.
