Help! How can I reduce my swelling and water retention after Lipo!?!?

southernchic
I had tumescent Lipo on my thighs, calves & ankles a week ago today (2/26). Last Sunday (3/3) I washed the garment & showered and during the time the garment was off I really swelled up! I’ve been wearing my garment every day & am scared to take it off except for a very brief shower, like I don’t even shave so I can get in & out and put my garment back on, but the swelling is still there. Any tips on how to reduce it? I’ve tried ice and drink tons of water!
