Today was the first day since surgery Ive taken my chin strap off to take a shower and before putting it back on, I noticed this ripple or lump, whatever you want to call. Is this something that is to be expected or should I be concerned?
My doctor said to wear my compression for 2 days, then at night for a week. Can I wear it longer if I choose to? Can compression be too tight? I'm concerned about creasing under my chin to where it joins my neck. What is the correct way to wear my compression garment? Thank you in advance for your advice.
I had neck lipo under local anesthesia by a reputable doctor 2 days ago. I had significant swelling on the right side of my face immediately post-op which has subsided since, however my smile is crooked on that side. I knew damage to MMN is a complication of surgery, and it was one of the reasons I was hesitant about going through with it. Well it happened, and now I'm feeling very discouraged. Is there anything I can do to speed up recovery? What will I tell people what's wrong with my smile?
I had chin/Jowl liposuction completed 2 days ago. I am thin but had stubborn areas. I had gastro the days leading up to the surgery and lost a few kilos. The surgeon said it would still be ok. I had a look at the amount removed (in the tube) and it looked like a few teaspoons. How much fat is generally removed? is that amount likely to make a significant change? I've started to put the few kilos back on after the gastro so now I'm just stressing that maybe I should have had more removed? Thanks
