Discouraged by Lipo Swelling, Will It Go Down? It's Been 4 Weeks.

Nadia5
I am 4 weeks out from tumescent lipo of the abs and hips today. I went to a top surgeon in NYC but my problem is that 4-5 days after the procedure I looked amazing, I had the waist I always wanted. Within about five more days I puffed up and I don't look much better now than I did before the procedure. I am freaking that I wasted money and I don't understand how I could have looked that good after 4 days and like this after 4 weeks.
