Brief Answer:
It is fairly normal to have puffiness for a few days.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
What was the surgery done?
It is normal to have some puffiness for a few days but not for long term.
If it has been less than a week then you need not worry.
Also do let me know as to which area of the body the liposuction was done.
Take care and do not worry.
Do let me know if there are any other queries on this issue.
