Hello from nearly 2 weeks post op!
I am still religiously wearing the compression garment and massaging the liposuctioned areas every day and night! (Not going to let all the $$ and effort to waste!). Alas, I could only wear the jaw compression garment at night.
Since I went back home, I would put on waterproof plasters on the incision sites before I showered. I did not want to risk getting an infection. Every morning and evening I would massage my abdomen and jaws, then apply the thrombophob cream and hydrocortisone cream.
The swelling has subsided significantly. Bruising has also improved. The bruises changed from brown to yellow. I was concerned when I saw yellowing of skin but Dr Arthur assured me that this was part of the healing process. Soon the bruises will be completely gone :)

My body was less sore, though I had to be careful not to be too rough with my movements. There was some hardness but it's just part of the whole post-liposuction journey.
I must emphasize that my waist is much smaller, love handles are practically gone, and my chin....there's not a layer of anything even when I look down!
Here are some 2 weeks post-op photos taken in the morning on an empty stomach. (Sorry for the heavily censored photos as there is no decent full length mirror.)
