Will I Look Extremely Swollen 9 Days After Smartlipo?

I am planning on traveling 9 days after my Smartlipo procedure on my inner/outer thighs and knees. My fear is that I will look worse than before the surgery, and I do not want to tell my family that I a visiting that I have had Smartlipo. I am wondering if I will be able to wear my normal clothes. Should I expect that the swelling will be severe?

Most patients are not very swollen, even the next day.

Most patients are not very swollen, even the next day. All of my patients wear a tight compression garment and I recommend that they walk for at least 30 minutes the afternoon or evening after surgery. We see them the next day for a shower and recheck. Most of them are not very swollen at all even the next day after surgery.
