I had Chin liposuction a year ago and "track" marks remain under my chin where the cannula was inserted. They are very noticeable & I am quite self conscience. I mentioned them at follow up & dr. suggested using Kybella as a possible solution. Prior to my chip lipo, I had two sessions of Kybella and while I could see an improvement I figured it best to just go ahead and get rid of the fat once and for all with lipo. What can you recommend to help reduce these "track" marks?
