Swelling or did lipo not work? 7 weeks post op mommy makeover mini tt, lipo of abdomen, hips, flanks, inner/outer thighs

Stephanie1845
Exactly 7 weeks post op today, my jeans are really tight & can't even wear some. I feel like my saddle bags & my hips are still too big. Is it normal to still be swollen or should I be discussing maybe a touch up on these areas?
