5 weeks post op, starting to regret

my results are literally getting worse as time goes by. which is extremely frustrating because everyone tells you they get better. i don’t understand how my pics from 12 days post op look much better than now, at 5 weeks. after spending $8,500 i am actually so frustrated. in both of these below pics i am sucking in, yet the waist used to look much smaller with a better waist to hip curve than it does now. (the bathroom pic is 12 days PO, the other one is now.) definitely regret it. honestly so upset. like how do i look fatter at 5 weeks, AFTER the majority of the swelling is supposed to be gone???

Photos of results

Someone requested photos, and I know how helpful they can be in making your decision. The "after" photo was taken 12 days post-op, so I still have some swelling and minimal bruising. Definitely a visible improvement in the shape though! I really wanted wider hips, which I think he did accomplish. I think there may be some asymmetry in the waist but I'm going to wait it out and see how I heal.

Good Results, Poor Office Management

*This review is long, but please read to the end for your own good!
I am currently 15 days post-op and so far I will say I am happy with my results! It is still early in the healing process so I still have a good amount of swelling but from the looks of it, I think I will be happy with my final results. I recommend dr. Shokrian if you prioritize your long-term results, and for this reason, I don’t regret my decision to go to him, but, the organization and office management are terrible. 
Before my surgery, I had several minor mishaps in which I was told my surgery wasn’t actually scheduled and the date was filled up, which caused some panic but luckily was sorted out quickly — my contract was also incorrect, so make sure to read yours thoroughly— things of that nature. But it was the treatment I received post-op that really raised some red flags for me. First of all, they said they would call on the evening of my surgery day to check in — they never did. My painkillers did not work, and I was in excruciating pain for the first 2 days post-op. I called them multiple times to ask politely if they could call in a different type of painkiller for me, on the verge of tears, and both times was told “we’ll call you right back”. Never got a callback, had to tough it out on my own — in my opinion, that is negligence. I had a virtual post-op scheduled and confirmed 2 weeks after my surgery, which is standard procedure. They never called. Essentially, they literally just performed the surgery on me and never once followed up. Ever. Very irresponsible, and I don’t blame the doctor, but the staff. Also, on several occasions, I was met with an attitude when I was nothing but polite and professional. Their patient care really needs improvement, but the doctor delivers good results. Please just be aware of this before you book. I am amazed at how many reviews on here praise the staff because there were countless instances I faced of unprofessionalism and straight-up negligence.
