The following link was posted on MMH by kitkat_ny and I am putting the link here as it has lots of information on liposuction.

I keep on meaning to post more pics, but I keep on forgetting to take some first thing in the morning and later in the day especially after gym my stomach looks larger and swollen so I did not want to post photos which might be misleading.
My flanks are still slightly sore if I run but other than than I have no more discomfort at all. The lump on my left hand side is still there although it may be a slight bit smaller. On the right hand side I still have the ropey feeling and some lumps and I should be massaging it daily, but have been naughty and not doing so very often. My upper abdomen looks great, but my lower abs still are slightly larger than I would have wanted. I know that you cannot tell until at the very least 3 months and maybe even 6 months what the final result will be but patience is not a virtue of mine.
I look really good compared to before so I should not find fault, however its so easy to forget how you looked before and start finding fault with how you currently look.

Have lost some weight
Weighed myself at the gym yesterday and I have lost 2.2kgs or 4.8lbs since my lipo. I have been watching what I eat and have made a conscious effort to not take in more calories than I need and it seems to be paying off.
My previous and current measurements are:-
Waist (measurement taken at navel)
16 Nov 87cm 34in
19 Nov 85cm 33and a half in
12 Dec 84cm 33 in
Waist measurement above navel 81cm 32in
Hip
16 Nov 97cm 38in
19 Nov 95.5cm 37in
12 Dec 92cm 36in

Measurements
Today its 5 weeks since my lipo. Compared to my "before" pics I really look good. However I think we are all the same in that we soon forget how we looked before and then start to find certain faults with our present shape. For me I think I could have had a tiny bit more fat removed from the tummy and on my left hand side slightly above waist I still have quite a bit of fat which I can hold onto if I grab it.
Took my measurements today and the waist area around my navel is still 85cm 33in which is disappointing as I would like to have a smaller waist measurement although if you look at me my waist does not look large.
My hips have gone down a bit more and are now 94.5cm 37in.
Anyway I am going to really exercise as much as I can until January when I see my ps and see what he says about the areas I feel could have had more fat out of.
I will take some new pics this week and post it.

Gym
Today I went to gym for the first time since the liposuction a month ago. I seem to be unfit but coped until near the end of my session and started getting pains in my stomach when I leg lifts. The pain continued at home and my stomach seems a bit swollen, so I decided to put on my pressure garment for the evening.

Update
I was feeling slightly depressed yesterday. Of course my results are fantastic, but I have been nit picking and finding fault with my abdomen the past few days. If I stand, its flat but if I sit and slouch my lower abdomen has a little bit of fat which is visible over the top of my jeans. If I look at my before pics posted here I can see how great I look, but I expected a totally flat stomach. Maybe it will still come so I should reserve my judgement. I am posting something that I read on MMH boards here which I found quite helpful.
Lipo:
I sometimes think the early days post lipo are the easiest because you expect some type of discomfort but one does not expect the prolonged soreness.
What will happen to most is the following post lipo: day 10-14-hard,lumpy, firm areas will be found where you had lipo-some describe it as a kind of ropey feeling too in spots..especially inner thighs and belly.
2 weeks on-periods of intense itching...it is the nerves regenerating..not much helps..it makes you sorer to scratch..lotions will only give you a few minutes relief....sometimes very hot showers will help....itching can come and go over the next 4-5 months.
Stiffness, tightness in moving-occurs in inner thighs, and under arms and neck areas lipo'd...gentle stretching and massaging helps-can last 4-5 months and changes daily.
Swelling..one day good...next day a lot of swelling-this occurs up to 6 months and often up to a year...no rhyme or reason. Compression garments help a LOT with this numbness of skin can last up to 6-12 months.
Itching occurs when feeling starts to come back lipo of inner/outer thighs/flanks/hips-incredibly sensitive to sit or turn from side to side as when in a bed and also to sit on toilet-lasts about 4 months.
