Thank you for your pictures. In my opin, you need to allow this to heal for the next six months. It does not appear that you are a great candidate were a great candidate for Eric liposuction. You may need a neck lift prior to some modest weight loss.
Dear Berry14,I am guessing the liposuction was an easier, less scary, and cheaper option than a face and neck lift. You will definitely have less fullness after liposuction, but unless you are young or have great skin quality the trade off of less volume is more laxity. There are some mild skin tightening procedures like Uthera and Thermi, but the changes will be mild compared to the results after a surgical procedure. Give it some time, massage, and then go over photos with your surgeon at a longer term follow up (maybe 6 months from now) to see if you are interested in doing something more aggressive.

Don't worry, you will be fine. Lumps and bumps seem to show up around 3 weeks after surgery and then hang around until 8-12 weeks on occasion. Try some warm compresses and a little light massage - it might help things improve faster.
There are a few ways to approach this that can help soften your facial features. Fat transfer is an excellent procedure that can add soft tissue volume and add dimensions to a "shapeless" face. You can improve your mid face by adding more volume to your anteromedial cheeks and the...
