8 days post op laser lipo, a lot of swelling. Is this normal?

amesqq
I had laser lip 8 days ago (upper/lower abdomen and flanks). I expected swelling and not immediate results. My abdomen is very swollen still. It is bigger than before. I have tried to get a 5 minute check in with the doctor just to give a glance to make sure it's normal but they haven't had time in their schedule. So I pose the question to you- is it normal to be swollen to the point that your larger than before the procedure? I am following al recommendations.
