How to Make the Skin Under the Chin Tight After Chin Liposuction?

I've had a chin liposuction 5 weeks ago, and most of the swelling is gone. But the skin directly under the chin is still a bit loose and it 'curves' a little, appearing to be fat. The amount of fat extracted was not much, but it was precisely this lump that I wanted to get rid of and have a 'straight line' from my chin to my neck. Should I be worried that the operation failed or is it too early to tell? I've worn the compression religiously, but keep wearing it hoping it will go away...Thank you

Please check back with the doctor who did the treatment.

Responses to liposuction under the chin can be variable. Check back with the doctor who did the procedure for a post op evaluation. Additional time may be necessary to see the final results. A touch procedure can be performed if necessary.

Chin Liposuction with Skin Tightening Results

Typically, after having Liposuction surgery you need to allow yourself at least 12 weeks for the swelling to diminish before making any assumptions about the final results. If your surgeon performed your Chin Liposuction surgery with laser-assisted liposuction, which helps to tighten skin as well as remove pockets of fat, it may take three to six months before the skin tightening result is noticeable. Continue to wear your compression garment as per your post-surgical instructions and... more
