When I talk or smile my lower lip does not move all the way down like normal. The surgeon had to cut the muscle under my chin to remove all the fat;the majority of my fat was under the muscle. She also said most of the fat was on the right side and it took her a while to remove all of it. The right side of my face is swollen and the majority of my swelling is on the right side of my neck. How can I tell if this is permanent? Could this be from the swelling?

Chin liposuction does not require strong analgesics. Usually tylenol will provide the necessary relief. I have my patients use BruisePak tablets to improve bruising and swelling after surgery.
