I've been massaging the area all days, but it doesn't seem to improve. I also look fatter than I was.
Answer: Hard swelling after chin liposuction It is not uncommon for there to be firm areas beneath the chin and neck skin and following liposuction. Massage typically helps these areas soft and but it can take 6-8 weeks. Please follow closely with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: I had chin liposuction 5 weeks ago and I still have a line of hard swelling. Is this normal? Relax. This is very common and may last 8-12 weeks. It's very important that you continue with massages. I would suggest that you seek a therapist familiar with lymphatic massages. It will get softer. Good luck.

Answer: Swelling and firmness after neck liposuction--pretty common. At 5 weeks post-op, there is bound to be residual dead fat, blood, and scar tissue that need to go through the healing and maturation process that takes 6-12 months. Firmness is common, and is increased when liposuction is performed. I prefer direct fat excision via a slightly longer incision for this reason, as I can obtain meticulous hemostasis under direct vision, which is impossible with liposuction, Whatever bruising/bleeding you get with liposuction, you get, and it takes longer to soften and heal, and can sometime be lumpy and irregular. Another part of why I have abandoned liposuction under the neck.But this remains a common operation, and many patients have the exact same occurrence you are describing, so be patient. Don't massage too much, and don't gain weight during this time of increased metabolic activity in this area. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Answer: Chin Liposuction Hi Satori,No cause for alarm as this is part of normal healing. Keep your surgeon in the loop to be sure nothing else is going on. Take if from me, this can take a good six months to smooth and soften. All the best, "Dr. Joe:
