1 Week After Tumescent Lipo and I'm the Same Size, How Long Should I Expect the Swelling to Last?

Sidney101
Had pure tumescent liposuction and i am now swollen, i had a pot belly and the fat was removed, on the day of the surgery i could see that the doctor had sculpted me in to shape. i had abs.On removing my garment after 24hrs, it took 20 minutes to swell straight back up to what i looked like before the procedure.what i want to know is, Have i swollen up and the swelling is taking the shape of my body when there was fat in it or has the doctor done nothing useful. Its been a week with no change.
