When Does Swelling from Smart Lipo Peak?

May 29, 2013
Asked By:Bop86

I had smart lipo 6 days ago. I know it's normal to be swollen for 2-3 weeks. But I am getting bigger every day. Today is the most I've been swollen. When does the swelling typically peak? I'm keeping my sodium intake under 1800 mg a day, drinking lots of water, taking an anti inflammatory. Is this normal? Any tips to reduce swelling faster?
