Hi all! I got liposuction on my chin/neck/jaw today. My doctor did not provide me with after surgery instructions on paper, but just said wear my compression garment. I napped on my side for 5-10 minutes because my chin is hurting, but then googled to make sure that was okay. Everyone says not to do that. Did I potentially mess my face up?? I’m so scared now.

Based on my 19 years of performing the procedure you are requesting and 1000s of patients I can let you know that the micro lipo with special instruments in the right experienced hands will get the job done. You need an in office consult for evaluation.
Hello dear
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I recommend you to use the bandage for at least one month to give more compression to the area, avoid swelling and inflammation and obtain the best results.
Good luck :)
After liposuction of any part of the body, the skin above the are treated tends to be loose and may have some wrinkles. The skin after liposuction has to "shrink" to adapt to the new body. This process takes up to 3 months. Therefore, at 2-3 weeks post surgery, there is still healing...
