Swelling 3 Days After Liposuction- Normal?

Tavia12
Today is day 3 post op liposuction. I had virtually no swelling the past two days. However, today I woke up with huge swelling. It feels very uncomfortable under the garment and it was a lot harder than before to get it on again. Is it normal to have swelling start today? or did something go wrong? As well, when will it start going down?
