I had aggressive lipo + BBL- only 1 inch lost in my waist? 4 months post op

Missyxoxo
I had lipo and BBL just over 4 months ago. Before surgery, my waist was 28" and my hips 40" Now my waist is 27 and my hips 42. My surgeon was confident that he would get my waist to be at least 25" (maybe even 24) Could this still be swelling? When I pinch the areas it's painful, not like fat. My rhino took 2 years for all the swelling to go- maybe I'm a slow healer. Anything I can do to speed this up? My results are ok but not as drastic as I was hoping. Thank you!
