Loose Skin After Double Chin Liposuction- Will It Fix Itself Or Do I Need Treatment?

hi, i had a pretty mild case of double chin and underwent double chin liposuction 1 month ago. however, i did not use the compression cloths like the doctor instructed, and now i have slightly loose skin. will it remedy itself in time, or should i seek treatments?

A: Droopy Chin Skin after Liposuction

This may or may not improve.  There are solutions to the potential skin excess.  I would allow 3-6 months of healing time.  Close follow  up with your plastic surgeon is recommended.

Stiff, Lumpy Neck 2.5 Weeks After Chin Liposuction

I had chin liposuction 2.5 weeks ago. I've been to the surgeon he says the symptoms are normal but I would just like a reality check. My neck area is extremely stiff, lumpy, hard and numb. I am wearing the head band most of the day and all evening but am going back to work on Monday. For how long do I still need to wear the band in the evenings? I am massaging the area once a day in the bath for about 10-15 minutes. Is that enough? Tx

A: liposuction and postop expectations

You can areas of firmness and numbness after liposuction.  I would recommend massaging the areas 3-4 x a day.  You should wear your compression garment for 4-6 weeks.  Review your postoperative instructions with your plastic surgeon.

Under Chin Vs Behind the Ears Incision for Chin Liposuction?

Why do some doctors only cut a single incision under the chin and others cut two incisions by each ear? I presume more fat can be reached with 2 incisions but does the single incision limit the doctor that much more?

A: Approach from several angles

It is matter of the doctor's training an experience of his/her results.  It is not uncommon to use both incisions so that the extra fat can be removed more evenly.
