How Long Should Chin Strap Be Worn After Chin Liposuction?

T
tiabrookSep 24, 2009

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.

Most patients with submental and neck fat will benefit from liposuction.  If you have significant sun damage, you may have loose skin.  But if your skin is resilient, the results are stellar.

Your pointy chin most likely is not from fat but the muscles. If there is some fat, it can be liposuctioned and it will help. However a better solution might be a chin implant or a filler like Radiesse to make the sides of the chin look normal and that would make your face look more symmetric...
