Neck Sculpting Swelling? (photo)

38 yr male. “neck sculpting W/pull back” & chin work done 15 days back. Swelling gone down substantially from cheeks. But still feel swelling (semi-squishy lumps) starting immdly under jaw-line, all the way to bottom of my chin (chin is still quite swollen). While shaving, I cant feel area under my chin. Is this “swelling” that will go away or is this glands (ptotic or hanging salivary glands, submaxillary etc). Is there any way to tell? I am concerned if its a glandular that might not go away

After 15 days, it is not abnormal to still be swollen. You may lose a little bit of feeling in the area as well, depending on what was performed during your surgery.

In some cases it can take 12-18 months for sensation to come back after liposuction. If you feel like something isn't right though speak with your plastic surgeon and address all your concerns.

Necklift and neck liposuction

Dear daisychuck, If you had liposuction, then give it time, it will improve (you would notice the absence of a 1-1.5inch incision under the chin if you had a surgical neck lift and not liposuction) This is still early, bring these concerns up with your plastic surgery and see what they say In the end, just be a little patient, it will get better Best regards, Nima Shemirani

Swelling after neck sculpting

Hi although I am not sure exactly what surgery you had, I see a fair amount of swelling. Not having your normal skin sensation is normal after surgery- if it was liposuction that you had then the sensation will return much faster than if you had some skin lifted and pulled back. For evaluation of the gland prominence, I'd recommend reviewing your preoperative pictures- if the glands were present before surgery then they may appear more prominent after liposuction. ... more
