Hoping Tumescent Lipo Can Add Better Contour to my Petite Frame

I had tumescent lipo done on April 13 on my upper arms, upper back, flanks, abs, and inner thighs. I am currently 8 days post op and I'm feeling almost back to normal. I have a small frame and I'm 4'll and weigh in between 105 to 108 lbs. So I didn't have a whole lot of fat but definitely enough for it to bother me. I've always been active, doing cardio 4 times a week and strength training 2-3/week, yet despite my efforts I didn't have the exact contour I was working so hard for. Also, to be truthful, the hardest part of working out is working through a sensible diet plan. I'm pretty sure if I stuck to a strict low-carb, high-protein diet that I would have gotten the result I wanted. But the key word is "if"... yah, it just wasn't realistically going to happen... not with all the other things I got going on.
So far, I can kinda see a result. As I mentioned, I am after a slimmer and more contoured physique so there hasn't been a dramatic difference in appearance in just this one week.
I am hopeful though. The doctor said he removed almost 2 litres, which he said was quite a lot for my frame. I hope he's right. We'll find out in the coming weeks. I'll continue to post on my progress.

Day 10: Of all the areas that I had done, I can confidently say that my flank area and waist line look slimmer and definitely measure smaller. There is a subtle difference in my upper back & arms. And as for the abs and inner thighs, I'm patiently waiting for them to reveal themselves to me. :)
As far as the recovery, I'm still sore & extremely tender to the touch in the inner thighs and around the lower back. Arms are back to normal asides from some numbness and the other areas are healing just as quickly. I'm back to working out 30 minutes a day for the past 3 days, but I can't run or lift just yet, just settling for walking for now.
