Gauze Compression Garment and Chin Liposuction (post-procedure)

Cloud3132Apr 28, 2021
I've gotten some quotes from places that do chin lipo. Most offer a compression garment to be worn as much as possible for a few days, then when you are going to sleep for a couple weeks. one of the places I am looking at wants me to wear a gauze wrap around my entire head for a week b4 switching. Would it be fine to do this but just buy my own compression garment and use that instead of a gauze? That way I can shower, walk my dog for a bit, grab food, and still have the wrap on for 22/24 hrs.

You were over treated leaving very little fat to cover your platysma muscle. I gave up on J plasma and got rid of the device a while ago. There isn’t any way to restore the excessively removed fat. You can try Botox in the platysma bands to see if that helps. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
