How Long Will I Take to Heal from Chin/jawline Liposuction?

Usually bruising and swelling are reduced to a point where you look "fairly normal" by 2-3 weeks after Liposuction of the Chin , Neck and Jaw Line.

Healing beneath the skin continues for at least 6 weeks.

Long term healing including skin tightening and remodel ling of the tissue beneath the skin continues for many months. I tell my patients to expect final result at about 6 months

Thank you for your question. Many of my patients are pleasantly surprised by how quick and comfortable recovery from chin liposuction really is. You can expect to have some swelling and bruising in the area for 2-3 weeks, although the worst of it generally subsides within the first week after treatment. Because I use the tumescent technique and micro-cannulas, some of my patients have almost no bruising afterward. The area will be sore for a day or two, but patients usually manage the discomfort successfully with over-the-counter pain medications. My patients are typically back to their regular activities within about four days.

Hi @Cupcake26 thanks for the question. Recovery after Chin Liposuction is fairly easy. You are certainly presentable by the third week although final swelling can last 6 weeks. There is a mild amount of swelling that peaks on the third day and is almost all gone by the second week. I suggest patient take Arnica and Bromelain 2 weeks before and after surgery to reduce bruising and swelling. Other things that help are: sleeping with 2 pillows to elevate your head, avoiding salty foods, and drinking plenty of water for the 2 weeks after surgery.

Most importantly, make sure you’re seeing an expert who will use proper technique that minimized tissue trauma which can worsen swelling after surgery.
