How much swelling is normal 10 days after liposuction?

10 days after liposuction is much too early to start worrying about the final result. Swelling may have totally reoccupied the volume from which the fat was removed. Final resolution of swelling will take months.

10 days post-op is still too early
to be judging your results.  Swelling is completely normal and expected after surgery
and you need to give your body time to heal.  It takes about 7-10 days for the initial swelling to go down but
residual swelling can remain for up to 6 weeks.  Remember that your final result can take up to one full year to be
apparent. If you notice an increase in
the amount of swelling or bruising in the area, be sure to contact
your doctor’s office right away. I
provide all my patients with a post-operative package on what to expect and how
to care for surgical sites. Be sure to follow you surgeon’s instructions
carefully and also ensure that you attend all follow up appointments.

A before and after picture would be helpful. There is no "typical" amount of swelling. With compression garment your shape souls continent to improve over the next 8 weeks. Earl Stephenson, Jr, MD, DDS, FACS

Ten days after liopsuction is an odd time to try and determine the results of the procedure.  Body Contouring results take months before the final results are realized.  If you are not using compression all of the time the you are undermining your own results.  Meaning it will take longer to actually see the results.

Many liposuction patients in the first week or two after surgery can look just like they did before and weight even more due to swelling and fluid retention. The amount of traumatized tissues are extensive and the body responds accordingly. You will need to wait until at least 6 weeks after surgery to begin to make a determination as to the general success of the procedure and a full three months to critique the final result.
