What can I expect after getting chin lipo? Will my face be swollen? Bruised? What type of bandages will I have to wear? What's the recovery time and level of pain to be expected? I have 5 kids so far I don't know anything more painful than that...until I have a tummy tuck I guess..

Answer: Chin Contouring with VASER, ThermiRF, Coolsculpting, Kybella, Thermage, Ultherapy, Exilis I find that VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates, but Kybella can be used as an alternative and needs to be combined with thermage/ultherapy/exilis or coolsculpting for good results. Downtime will vary, with liposuction, most people return to work within a week. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Neck liposuction recovery Liposuction of the neck or chin, usually is not painful. You will have some swelling that is minimal and really only noticeable to you after the first 3 days that may take some time to resolve. You will have at least some bruising that can last a week. I tend to do smart liposuction for the neck as it seems to have less bruising and can tighten the skin a little. You will still need to wear a compression garment that is like a chin strap for 3 days and in the evening when in the house. Really as much as you can for the first 2 weeks, but you can take it off after the first 3 days. Most people are really pleased by 5 days and can usually cover any remaining bruises, but again this is less with smart liposuction than with regular. It is a quick procedure that is really well tolerated. I would suggest seeking consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to explore the possibilities and to see if you would be a candidate. Good luck and don't let the recovery hold you back if you truly desire this change.
