How do you know there is swelling after lipo and not just fat left over? What do you look for? (photos)

Deletd01
I just got lipo 10 weeks ago and my doc says I am still very swollen. I don't think he is being honest and I would like to know how he knows I'm swollen without being able to see inside to really know. I have no pain, lumps, or numbness.
