7 days post op Tumescent Liposuction, I'm still very swollen and still bruising! Any suggestions

Taloria99
I had tuminisent lipo exactly 7 days ago. I had upper and lower abs and flanks done. the flanks are a little smaller but my abs are still big, sore and puffy. As a matter of fact they never really got flat during the procedure. I notice others saying their abs were flat right after then got bigger but mine never got flat. Does this mean they won't every be flat and I wasted my money?
