Chances of Bad Results from Not Wearing Chin Strap After Chin Liposuction?

Don't Worry too much about this! Wearing the compression dressing to the neck after liposuction is certainly an important part of the recovery period, but not critical. Wear it as much as you can for the 1st week, then in the house and at night for the second week. You will not have bad results from not wearing the chin strap. Bad results come from poorly performed procedures or bad decision making in choosing a particular Surgery.

Most important is to listen and follow your Plastic Surgeon's instructions However when just liposuction is performed in the upper neck, a compression garment is recommended for the following reasons::It restricts the amount of edema that forms and hastens its resolution by mechanical pressure.It decreases the amount of bruising.It assists the loose skin in retracting or shrinking.You may ultimately get the same results, but it will take far longer in my experience.

The vast majority of plastic
surgeons recommend compression garments in the post-operative period.  Compression garments minimize swelling
and help remodel soft tissue following liposuction.  This helps decrease pain and discomfort, and in theory
improves the aesthetic results following this procedure.

                  The
importance of compression garments depends on a variety of factors.  These might include the amount of fat
removed and the patient’s baseline skin laxity to name a few.  In some cases, not wearing a compression
garment may have no significance. In other cases, it
might be the difference between an excellent result and an average result.

                  For
this reason, it’s important to discuss your discontinuance of your chin strap
with your plastic surgeon.  In some
cases premature cessation of compression might adversely impact the results of
liposuction.  Under these
circumstances, it might be possible to adjust the chin strap or utilize muscle
relaxants.  In the vast majority of
patients, it probably wouldn’t affect the result, but instead lead to prolonged
swelling.
