What is a Typical Smart Lipo Recovery?

I'm considering Smart lipo for some contouring of my tummy and flanks, but first I want to know what I can expect from the recovery period. What kind of downtime is involved? How long will I need to take off work? Will I need someone to take care of me? What should I expect in terms of swelling and/or bruising?Thanks.
