Hard Circle Under Chin After Chin Liposuction

It’s not unusual to have a firm
bump where the liposuction incision was made.  This is a normal part of wound healing and should resolve
with the passage of time.  Gentle
massage of the area will facilitate healing and flatten the scar tissue beneath
the chin. If you continue to have concerns, don’t hesitate to discuss the issue
with your plastic surgeon.

This represents residual swelling and will subside with time.  In some cases, a small revision liposuction can be performed in clinic.  Either way, the final outcome is positive.

I would recommend using Bruise-Stick, a medicated ointment stick containing Arnica and Bromelain, to reduce swelling and bruising.

It is normal to have a hard area of tissue beneath any incision because that is your body's way of healing.  It will eventually resolve.

I always talk to my patients about this hardness and give them instructions on how to make it resolve as quickly as possible.
