I'm a singer. I have a gig June 15. One month out. Is there a way to wear a support when I am not singing to compress the neck/ advice?. They pulled the skin tighter; there was loosening in one area and they re-draped the loose skin. I do not have sutures up to the tragus only along the bottom of the ear lobe. I am swollen under the chin scar more than the first time because they sutured the platysma muscles together. I have a long neck and I am thin. Any suggestions for using a technique or support bandage??
Its only been 22 days Ive had a Platysmaplasty, buccal fat removal and lipo of neck and jowls. I have a ridge under chin (see pic) I was wondering if I need to be more patient and wait for this to go away or if I will need a revision? I have been wearing my compression garment 24/7 the last 22 days..
I wore my compression garment 24/7 for the first 4 days. Then I only took it off to shower days 5&6. After that I cold not sleep in it. I wore it most of the day or the next week while I office at home. Now I am only able to wear it a few hours during the day. Im nervous...I still see a lot of puffiness under my chin. I am massaging it.
I had a lower face lift with liposuction of the neck six years ago. I had major swelling and was not told to wear a compression garment. The face lift turned out good but under the chin it looked as bad if not worse than before the liposuction. The skin is really loose and has horrible ridges. Would another liposuction fix the problem if I wore a compression garment this time or would another procedure be recommended.
Hello doctors, This evening I was putting on my compression garment after a shower and felt a very small pop on the left side of my neck just behind ear as I turned my head. Its sore and feels localized to that spot. Did I break something from my surgery? I had a neck lift 8 days ago w mild fluid collections (non-drainable) on both sides of neck. I left my PS a voicemail and will speak to him tmrw, but a very interested in your opinions regarding what that could be. A suture? Scar tissue?
The hard thick area under my chin has left me with a square jawline instead of an oval shape to my jawline which I once had. I have worn the pressure garment diligently.
38yo male. Neck lift (muscle/fat/skin) to relieve pressure on throat complicating long-standing sinus issues. Great functional results, but now cosmetic aftermath. No compression bandage until 8 days post-op. Since then, double chin, etc have developed. Not told why no comp post-op but later told the hospital no longer carried them, hence the delay(?) Is first week compression crucial? Potential lost ground? Should I seek second opinion/examination? Thank you for your expertise and time.
