Hi everyone,

I have finally scrimped and saved enough to have chin liposuction. I am 45 and have always had a double chin. Admittedly I am 10 kg overweight, but even when slim I had a fat chin.

My Dr has not prescribed me to wear a chin strap, which is a concern as everyone else seems to have???

I have posted some before photos and will post the afters.

Hi there, welcome!

Good luck with your upcoming procedure, I hope it all goes well and you have a smooth recovery!

Have you asked your doctor about the chin strap? I've read that it helps with reduced swelling, but I'm not a doctor, so maybe your doctor isn't expecting you to have too much swelling?

Thank Kirsty, No but I will ask on Thursday. I did order one from ebay, I just hope it is here in time. Cheers

Hi I was wondering where abouts in Australia you had this done? I'm in Melbourne and your procedure seems to be a lot cheaper than others, is this because of having the local anaesthetic not a general?
thanks!

Back home, the procedure took approx 15 mns. No pain apart from very minor pain from the local anaesthetic. Mild swelling and bruising, but it is only 8 hours post procedure.

Hi, Exq, and congratulation with your procedure! I am sure you will be very pleased, -on your picture it looks like you will come out of healing looking fantastic! I am two weeks post, and have been wearing my chinstrap most of the time. The first 3-4 days I did not take it off at all, then it really needed a wash ;-) I still wear it when I am home and at night, it doesn't bother me that much. My doc mentioned that when it stopped being hard and bruised, it was mostly healed. That is when I plan on wearing my strap much less. Of course, I only had a minor procedure, but better safe than sorry, I say. It is still a tiny bit hard and tender, but I see myself not wearing it so much in about 3-4 days. Happy healing, -you look great!

Hi AidaCat, Thank you so much for your encouraging words. My Dr did not prescribe a chin strap. I did order one on line but it was an XL and far too big so i have not worn one. I do hope it will still heal well. Your photos look awesome, well done!

Not bad. I wanted lipo of the chin but dr recommended a neck lift so that I wouldn't be left with sagging skin. Do you feel that would have been a better fit for you? I'm still not convinced yet that the neck lift is what I need as I see women with similar necks to mine who just got lipo.

No I am happy with my lipo, will get clear and brilliant to assist with skin tightening. I would get other opions. Good luck

The results look very nice, I'm surprised you didn't have to wear a strap though. But I guess it turned out well for you either way :)

Looks really good, may I ask which doctor and in which state? I'm thinking of having the same procedure. How is the lose skin tightening up?
