When Does Swelling from Smart Lipo Peak?

Question

I had smart lipo 6 days ago. I know it's normal to be swollen for 2-3 weeks. But I am getting bigger every day. Today is the most I've been swollen. When does the swelling typically peak? I'm keeping my sodium intake under 1800 mg a day, drinking lots of water, taking an anti inflammatory. Is this normal? Any tips to reduce swelling faster?

Swelling can peak from about 3 to 7 days, but increased activity and body position can increase swelling at any time.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Swelling is common after liposuction and it may take several months for the swelling to decrease.  Be patient.

Your body just under went a big trauma. Patient swelling is different for each patient but, should peak soon. It is very important that you wear you garments and realize that it will be months before you see changes and they will come gradually..

Bruce E. Katz, MD · Answer

Swelling will begin a few days after the actual procedure. After the procedure you will notice a significant difference in the areas treated but then after a few days you will tend to have some swelling.
