I had jowel and neck liposuction combined with Facetight ( a procedure like a facelift but not ). It’s been 25 days since the surgery and my lower lip won’t pull down when I smile. My neck also feels extremely tight and is restricted, I can’t look up (pull head back) as far as I used to without pain and tightness. I had shooting pains and tingling a in my left side chin. Prior to surgery he mentioned he had to go “behind the neck muscle” for the liposuction. How can I speed up the process?
