Hard Circle Under Chin After Chin Liposuction

Lena May
I recently had Chin Lipo at the same time as a Tummy Tuck. I wore a head strap to support the skin for two weeks after. I was worried about having excess skin. The skin seems to be okay, but I have a small hard circle just under my chin where the tiny incision was made. It doesn't hurt and isn't that noticeable, but I can feel it and it doesn't seem normal. Is this isolated swelling? Or should I go back to see my doctor?
