Is swelling normal with Ultherapy?

neta in indy
I have significant swelling under my chin 4 days post Ultherapy. i also have numbness in this area. How long does the edema(swelling) typically last post procedure? I am told there is very little recovery time but there obviously is recovery time involved due to the swelling under my chin. I did not receive lidocaine injections prior to procedure.
