neck lipo lumps, pain, swelling in 4th week..neck is a mess, very ashamed

By Forlorn on 21 Sep 2011

Hi...I am writing to get all up to date...my neck smart lipo is still not showing any positive results. I am in the middle of week 4 and my neck and chin are swelled up like little rope balloons. My chin and neck are hot to the touch and hurt if I even tap the areas. They are hard and show no signs of improvement each day. I am a mess and wearing scarves each day and am so ashamed. I spent ten K and look way way way worse than I ever did. Does this every go away or am I scarred for life? I will have to hide...I can't do this much longer...my job is almost in the toilet as I am wearing gauze and scarves each day to hide the hideous neck or necks should I say. What do I do now? The surgeon wanted nothing to do with it and said it was fine..can you imagine!!! I am so disgusted and wish he went thru the surgery so he could walk around with 3 hard necks where there was one and a disfigured face. I am so sorry that I did this. My advice is stay with what you have ...this is all hype. Forlorn

I'm really sorry to hear what you're going through, Forlorn. :( You may also want to post on the Doctor Q&A Forum for some professional opinions. They might have some tips for getting rid of the lumps (I know massage sometimes helps).
