    I had a total of 7500cc taken out everywhere - I do not know how much is from my chin. I seriously do not think the head wrap is the issue at all. My doctor said the head wrap helps reduce swelling and promote tightening - which I think it did. I have more photos I can e-mail you - send me an e-mail at traybay141@aol.com and I can send you some of my pics of my chin.

    Also, I saw your other question - I had the Cool Touch Cool Lipo with suction.

    Yes I was very worried about the paralysis at first but it eventually went away. After the swelling went away, my chin did tighten up - have you been wearing the head wrap - I wore mine for the first 10 days straight and then at night for another week or so - that really helped with the swelling. But yes, it did look worse before it got better.

    My chin was very swollen and bruised at first and half of my face, mouth down, was paralyzed for about 6 weeks. My husband said I looked like Elvis :-) At about 8 weeks post procedure, my chin and face was perfectly fine. I know I experienced uneven swelling in my inner thighs but it all smoothed out. I did not do any professional massage treatments, but I did used a hand massage everyday on my inner/outer thighs and I used the heating pad to help swelling on my legs, stomach and lower back. I also elevated my legs everyday for the few couple weeks to help with swelling because I had a lot swelling in my knees, calves and thighs. I hope this helps!

    Hi Amy, Yes the lumps and bumps are gone! It has been 10 months since my surgery and I am more than pleased! Everything has smoothed out nicely! I had the procedure done on a Thursday and I missed a total of 7 days of work (with two weekends in there) so I was out 11 days total.
