Had chin lipo done 3 days ago. Results less pronounced now than the day after surgery. Is this normal? (photos)

rabidteddy5
As you can see from the photos, my chin 24 hours after surgery look very good with an angle even appearing on my neck. However, the day 3 results look more like what I had before the operation. I’ve been diligent about wearing my compression strap & only took it off to take these photos and to shower once - my doc said I could do this. I know area is still swollen, but is it normal for the skin so swell so much after the 24 hour mark?
