Is this swelling after neck lipo normal? (Photos)

jdc978
I had neck lipo 8 days ago. At day 2 my neck definitely looked better. Now one week and a day post op I am swollen and look worse than before the procedure. I have worn the compression garment almost all the time. It's not really sore but so many postings indicate most people have good results quickly. The swollen area is relatively firm. I have an appointment tomorrow. Is this just a matter of patience or should I be concerned?
