I really don't want to think that in 6 months, the swelling will be gone. When can I realistically see some sort of "after"?

You should be seeing something significant at 2 weeks

If you are 2 weeks out, you should be seeing results from liposuction. At one month you should see 75% of your final result. I don't understand exactly what you are describing because there should be no doubt at this point about seeing a result.
