I had a very broad and lean chin when I was younger. I had jaw surgery a couple months ago and ended up getting a chin with a lot of fat. I want to somehow remove this fat. Is this possible through chin liposuction or maybe a genioplasty? My chin is also very numb and I cannot feel anything
I had chin lipo 1.5 years ago and since I have been treating a hypotrpoic scar from the Incision site on my jawline on the right side. Ive mostly been using steroid injections. But recently my dermatologist injected saline. About 7 weeks ago. And since the. My cheek has been feeling not sore, but theres a dull numbness and sometimes in trickles up to my eye. It also feels like its a bit swollen. But doesnt look like it. Could this be from any of those treatments?
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
I had chin lipo and cheek fat removal 2 weeks ago I used my compression garment for the 1st week 24/7 only removing it to shower. I have continued to wear it for this second week nights only. I notice my chin area and right side of face are still numb. I have read it is normal for swelling to occur and that it should improve within 3 weeks, but is the numbness normal? How long until it goes away?
7 days ago I had UAL under the chin, General anesthesia. I have jaw pain along mandible, unable to open my mouth fully (like a big yawn), some numbness on my tongue (hard to spit), chin and lower lip. Unable to depress my bottom lip to smile - problem is bilateral. My surgeon says she never had this happen and that her colleague surgeon says its neuropraxia and should resolve (colleague didnt see me). Should I meet with an ENT as my next step? Super worried its permanent...please help.
I did not have a lot of fat to begin with, but wanted to have what I had, contoured and taken out. Since hour after surgery, I have had this large elogated lump. It is neither firm nor soft. It is definitely not a hematoma. It feels like swelling consistency. I am concerned that is seems to have not gone down any and it has been almost a month. The area directly under the chin is still numb. I have tried massaging it. What could this be? Is it still swelling?
I understand I am experiencing a side effect of chin lipo. I am unable to pull down my lower lip. Is it more common to happen to one, or both sides? Does laser lipo increase damage? I have had neck lipo before, I experienced numbness to one side of my lip but never paralysis. Does the scar tissue due to multiple treatments increase the risk of permanency? I know that time typically improves this but I am trying to see how much of a risk I am at for permanent damage.
Hello, Had a chin liposuction last week. And so far happy with it, still wearing the head strep as much as possible. However there is a earea under my chin toward the neck that still looks fat. Also is feels numb. Does that mean it's swollen that earea? Thanks for any answers.
