Is there an advantage to wearing the chin strap for 4-6 weeks after neck lift surgery? I'm 17 days post-op and have been advised to wear this chin strap for 4-6 weeks. I'm very diligent about wearing it day and night but it does hurt, my ears mostly. I'm constantly putting padding around the ears to relieve the pressure points. I've noticed online that most doctors advise 7 days. If wearing this for another 2-4 weeks will give me a better result then I will keep wearing it. Please advise.
