When Does Swelling from Smart Lipo Peak?

Bop86May 29, 2013
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?

       As someone who recently graduated from Harvard plastic surgery fellowship and as someone who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year, I have used ultrasonic, conventional, and smart lipo.  There are elements of each that I do not like...
