How long does post op swelling last?

SuperNsch
I had a breast reduction 10 days ago and am feeling great. I was a 34G and suffered from back pain, headaches, carpal tunnel, the works. It has been a great relief to have the surgery done. That aside, how long should I feel swollen in my sides? I went to get measured for a sports bra to swap out with the surgical, and was measured at a 38D, when the doctor was aiming for a C. My guess is that I am super swollen, so just curious when I can expect this to subside.
