Smart Lipo of Upper/Lower Abs, Waist, Flanks, Part of Hips

I am 35 years old, I have had 3 babies and sometimes feel like I still look slightly pregnant. I went in yesterday morning for SmartLipo combined with Power-Assisted Liposuction of the upper and lower abs, waist, flanks, and blending into my hips. The surgery was less painful than I expected and I am recovering well on day 2 with minimal pain killers. I am no longer draining fluids and I took my first shower which felt great although I was actually very ready to get back into the compression garment afterwards as it holds everything in nicely. I just had company over and I don't think anybody noticed my compression garment under my clothes or me taking a little longer to stand up from sitting.

I am very pleased with the facility, the doctor, the nurses and staff, and the overall experience. My concern is that 400cc does not sound like a lot of fat. I am not huge (5'6" and about 145 pounds) but I did feel like I had a lot of excess fat in that area and when looking at pictures online of people with similar body types it seems like a lot of them had over 1,000cc taken out. Now the waiting begins, to see whether it will be noticeable or not. I only did it for myself as this is an area that I have always been self-conscious about, so I don't expect anyone else to notice but I would love to feel like I don't have to hide my tummy under baggy clothes anymore.

I will post "before" and "day after" pictures after I censor them!!

Here are the pictures from before, during, and 2 days after. It has been about 56 hours since the procedure and I could probably go without pain killers but I am taking Tylenol for comfort. It is starting to itch so I may take some Benadryl. I am starting to feel the post-surgery depression that everyone on here warns about since I spent so much money and am worried that there will not be a change that makes me feel better about my stomach. I know that this is normal and I just need to be patient but it's hard. I will add some side view photos later.

Here are some pictures from the side. I think it looks pretty similar and I don't have the flat tummy that I was hoping for yet, so I just hope I am very swollen! I know the swelling will get worse before it gets better. I have to add a few more characters to this update so I will just say that I felt a little light headed after standing and having my husband put the Hydro Seal bandaids on, it actually made me look forward to getting the compression garment back on!
