How long should skin stay swollen underneath chin after NeckTite? Just to how I looked before.

Every patient is different in how quickly the swelling resolves following a NeckTite procedure that uses internal radio-frequency energy to tighten the tissues, reduce fat, and reduce sagging/wrinkles.  Results improve up to 3-6 months out and last 3-4 years.  If aspiration liposuction is performed swelling may take longer.  If you're at least a week out you could try NSAIDS (alleve) and massage to the area.  I have my patients wear a compression dressing at night for 2 months.  I've had one patient develop an area of neck hardness that responded to topical radio-frequency and heat over a few weeks completely.  Don't give up and talk to your provider about your concerns.  Best regards.

Thank you for your question. This is highly variable from person to person. You don't mention how far out you are from your procedure or whether any lipo was performed in conjunction with the procedure. Swelling is usually dissipating by 2 weeks post-op but may take up to 3 months to fully resolve. I have found that acoustic wave therapy with the Zimmer Z Wave helps to resolve the swelling. Lymphatic massages can also help to reduce the swelling.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
