How long before numbness goes away after chin lipo?

October 3, 2018
Asked By:Audry1

I had chin lipo and cheek fat removal 2 weeks ago I used my compression garment for the 1st week 24/7 only removing it to shower. I have continued to wear it for this second week nights only. I notice my chin area and right side of face are still numb. I have read it is normal for swelling to occur and that it should improve within 3 weeks, but is the numbness normal? How long until it goes away?
