Post chin implant/chin liposuction compression garment? (Photos)

Question

I'm 4 days post op chin implant/ chin liposuction & my compress garment is killing my ears! Where can I get one that doesn't cover your ears? How important is wearing it? I'm very swollen.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

I would check with your surgeon to see what options you may have to help alleviate the pain to your ears from the compression garment you are wearing after your chin augmentation and liposuction under your chin.  It may be possible to make a vertical slit in the middle of the garment over the area of your ears to allow your ears to poke out through the garment.  I would check with your particular surgeon before doing this however.

Earl Stephenson, Jr., MD, DDS, MBA · Answer

Thank you for your pictures.  Your compression garment is important.  It is possible that you can pad your ears with a cotton dressing so that there is not pressure on them.  Please ask your surgeon's advice as well.  Best wishes.
