First, let me say my doctor said this is normal and I have no reason to distrust him. Im just a bit of a worrier. I have searched and while I have found many posts about lumps and swelling, none of them look like mine. I am 10 days post op from extended submental liposuction. I noticed a cannula shaped raised area under both sides of my chin presumably where he passed the cannula through. Is this swelling? Scar tissue? Will it go away or am I botched?
Im 10 days post op chin lipo. But my lower jaw is delayed, I can't smile and show my bottom teeth and I talk with a horrible lisp. Im extremely worried, that there is permanent nerve damage. The tip of my tongue is numb. Im a marketing director in my company and talking is what I do everyday. I wore my compression garment for a week 24/7 and this week started only wearing it at home. I started getting lymphatic drainage massages and they seem to be helping with the swelling, but my mouth is still drooping. HELP
It's been 11 days since chin Lipo. I understand it could take several wks for results but is this normal to still look like I have a double chin and is it going to get better? I'm not so sure if this is swelling. I'm 39 and have good elasticity in that area. I'm worried I'm not going to have good results. It was this same size at 4 days post op also. Here are some before Lipo and 11 days post op pics I've posted.
It's been 10 days and I don't seem to see much of a difference. The strap was taken off yesterday and the skin feels quite hard but it looks as if there's still a lot of fat. Could it just be swelling and I'm just over worrying or does it actually seem like not much was removed. The photo with the beard is the one after liposuction as I haven't shaved yet and it does feel painful to shave in that area. Thanks in advance for any answers.
I had submental lipo around 10 days ago and am experiencing some hard lumps and bumps right under my chin. Could the surgeon have missed fat deposits there or is this totally normal? It feels harder almost every day and I'm a bit concerned. I loved how it looked day 1, but it seems to have gone downhill since then. I've been wearing the compression garmet daily for about 12 hours a day but I don't think it's tight enough directly under my chin. How can I make it tighter?
I got double chin liposuction 12 days ago. For the first week my jaw line and neck looked great. However, I'm now experiencing a lot of swelling and lumpiness. My chin looks the same as it did before surgery. Should I be concerned?
I had neck/ chin lipo 10 days ago. I am still swollen in my gland area on both sides, which I know is normal. My concern is that my lip/mouth muscles feel damaged. For example, I am not able to rinse mouthwash without it dribbling out; I am not able to bit into things (i.e. a sandwich, or hamburger) normally. The right side of my mouth does not cooperate. I also notice an issue when spitting toothpaste, I'm unable to form my lips as I did pre-surgery. Is this likely related to the swelling?
I'm 10 days post-op from neck lipo and arm lift. I'm pleased and grateful for the procedure, but also hopeful it will improve even further. I've been wearing compression on my neck 24/7. My surgeon switched me from the original compression garment to a simple ace bandage. When I take off the ace, I can see lumpy lines where the compression isn't exactly even. Is this a sign that I am wearing it incorrectly? Might I compress my neck into a permanently deformed state if I wear it wrong?
