No Real "Swelling" or Bruising 3 Days Post Op from Ultrasonic Lipo? (photo)

Holliehoho
I had ultrasonic Lipo on tummy & flanks this past Tuesday. Surgery went very well per my PS. I was just curious... I've got the discomfort for sure along with itching but when I remove compression suit to shower I don't see much swelling at all and only a spot or two that looks like it wants to bruise. I have some loose skin but sure it will supside. Not complaining but I read so much & was prepared for major swelling & bruising! Sitting upright still slightly uncomfortable-ish. This all normal?
