I had chin/jowl Lipo March 7th. I was pretty bruised and swollen. But my swelling now appears to be gone and I look exactly as I did before surgery. I wore the chin strap from the 7th to the 14th, pretty much 24hours a day. Then afterward I wear it at night only because I had to return to work during the day.
