Swelling and bumpy appearance after neck liposuction
I had neck Liposuction done 3 weeks ago (tumescent procedure), and although I see a major improvment with the double chin I had, it's still lumpy around that area and just a bit swollen. Because of this swelling/bumpy appearance, it still looks like I have a double chin (small one). Is this normal, and how long before I see the final results? About 2 days ago it looked like it was getting better, but today I see it a bit more swollen. Is that normal too?

A: You should massage and give it time
There is still swelling in your result. Time and gentle massage should help. Go back to your doctor and have them discuss their recommendations with you.

Mine has only been 11 days, but one side is much more swollen than the other side. I think it's not draining properly, so I am going to get a facial tomorrow and hope the massage helps.
