How long will it take for my lumpectomy swelling to go down completely?

I had a lumpectomy on Aug. 6 and a re-excision on Aug. 27 to widen the margin. Just wondering how long it will take for the swelling to go down fully. It's my left breast and right now it looks like a "Barbie boob" compared to the right one. Funny, but not really because it's quite noticeable even when I'm dressed.

Thanks for your replies.
