When does this swelling go away??!!

I have a follow up with my surgeon today. I am feeling so much better and more mobile but I still can't stand up straight and I am still sooooo swollen. My pre-op pants will not even come close to buttoning. Will this ever go away? I feel like I am bigger than before the surgery.

10 days post op

It's been a long 10 days but it's gone by fast at the same time. I went back to work at 8 day post surgery. It was uncomfortable but I made it through and now I have the next three days off.

My lipo sites are the most bothersome. My flank areas burn. I do have quite a bit of swelling still especially in the flanks. I am so looking forward to that going down. I can be so impatient.

I was blessed in the fact I had one drain removed at 5dpo and be other at 7dpo. I didn't have a lot of drainage.

These photos were from last week. I will be taking more at the two week mark to track my progress. I still can't stand up straight. I am very tight.

Swelling swelling go away.

She far I am excited about what I see.

So I am still in a good deal of pain. It's mostly muscular since the lipo site sonority numb but I don't have much bruising. I am really really swollen but despite that I am pleased with what I see so far. I can't wait until the swelling subsides so I can really see what my results will be. I am not draining very much so hopefully I can get these drains out next week. I am seriously hunched over right now. I was pulled really tight. Taking it easy right now and trying not to do too much. I can't believe I finally made it to this side.
