I have had submental liposuction exactly one year ago. I wore my chin strap 24/7 for my doctor's recommended time. I believe it was 6 to 8 weeks. But does this appear to be loose skin? What do I need to do to fix this? Is it normal? In this picture i have my head turned. But it looks fine when my head is staight.
My doctor suggests wearing chin strap after chin liposuction 2 weeks all day, and additional 4 weeks at night. But, 2 weeks seems excessive, and the strap will be embarrassing to wear. Just curious if it's really necessary to wear that long. I'm young with elastic skin that seems to go back quickly.
Im about 3 weeks post chin lipo. Ive noticed these little bumps around my chin a few days after and I stopped wearing my chin strap about a week ago because of them and since then its still gotten worse.. Im not taking any medication btw. I was wondering if Im just like breaking out because of the strap or if this is something more serious?
It faded yesterday upon waking & doesn't occur during the day, just at night. I am sleeping on my back propped up by three pillows. I am worried the indentation will be permanent mark. Should I stop wearing it at night, I've been told this is when I really should wear it, It's Saturday morning and I cannot contact my Dr for advice. Thank You.
Hi, I don't have a double chin, I have a small bulge of fat under my chin. I know a lipo would make my jaw line look more defined. For a small lipo of the chin like mine...do I have to wear the compression garment for more than 5 days?
What is the correct pressure to apply when wearing the chin strap post chin, neck liposuction? I am on day 4 post neck, chin lipo and buccal fat removal. The surgeon told me the correct pressure is imperative, but I am unable to gauge what that might be. What is too tight? What is too loose? Am I actually wearing this thing to create the contour of the result? In that case it will be very important to position the straps a specific way. Thanks in advance for your feedback!
I had a small amount of fat excised from under chin...one stitch. I was told to wear the chin strap 24/7 for 1 week, but my ears and the bruised area under chin have become so painful I had to take it off. I'm at the 3 day point....is it really necessary to try to wear it for the remaining days? Thank you. I appreciate your time
I'm having upper blepharoplasty and submental lipo on the 15th. I am wondering about cleaning the chin strap. It must get kind of nasty, but we're supposed to wear it for many hours. Do most people buy a second chin strap? I'm kind of surprised I haven't seen this addressed anywhere.
