When will I fit into my clothes again? (Photo)

gymjunkie1960May 12, 2017
I had Smartlipo 12 days ago and I am healing well, and the bruises are disappearing nicely, my only concern is , although I don't visably look swollen, I can't fit into any of my clothes, other than loose ones. Will I reduce in size and be able to fit my clothe again, and when should I expect to be able to do this? Thank you.
