4 weeks post op and feeling discouraged

I was feeling overall positive and hopeful about my potential results until this past week. I am 4 weeks post op, feeling almost normal again, but it seems like as the firmness and lumpiness subsides, my stomach just feels soft and squishy again just like before surgery. I'm fine with stomach imperfections, but I am wondering my PS was as aggressive as I would have liked with the fat removal. There is definite improvement in my size, but I don't feel like it's much different than what I could have done on my own. I still feel like my stomach has quite a pooch with a good chunk of fat that I can grab with my hands. Also, there is a definite crease at the top of my abdomen that I worry came from my compression garment. It doesn't seem like these are things that will just disappear with more time, does it? Feeling discouraged about the money spent for the results I got....My main questions are, Could more fat have been removed? Could my compression garment have caused creases? and Will I see much change in my shape from this point on? (Red and Black underwear are my Before pics and Blue underwear are my After pics)

I have always carried my weight in my mid-section....

I have always carried my weight in my mid-section. Even when I am at my smallest and super fit, I never really have a waist and am always thick around the middle. I've delivered 3 babies and don't plan to have anymore so I decided to look into liposuction to contour my waist permanently. I initially planned to do Smartlipo, but I opted to do traditional liposuction with a well known plastic surgeon instead. I am 4 days post op and, despite the positive feedback i received at my appointment today, I'm feeling nervous. I know that swelling is normal, but I worry about lumpiness and if I am going to feel like they took out as much fat as I would have wanted. Can't wait to see how things progress. I will post my before pictures along with a Day 4 post op that I took today and will continue to post as my body takes shape.

His office has been amazing from Day 1 even though it took 6 weeks just to get me in for a consult. However, his patient coordinator worked miracles to get my procedure scheduled to work with the timeframe I needed. I can't speak for my results yet, but so far working with Dr. Kramer has been a pleasure.
