Liposuction swelling - when does it peak? I'm day 4 post op, and I feel like I look fatter than day 2

Liposuction swelling - when does it peak? I'm day 4 post op, and I feel like I look fatter than day 2 post op - less toned, bulged more at sides..I was really happy with how I looked day 2, now I'm worried things are taking a downturn. I don't feel as sore, so it makes me think like swelling should be going down if I don't hurt as much, but I look worse.
