I had minor lipo under my chin almost two weeks ago and followed neck garment instructions fully the first week, then only took it off for work after that. I went on a trip this weekend and forgot to put it on of night. Will two full days and one night effect the final outcome of the surgery?

Answer: Garments after liposuction Thanks for your question. The answer is, no. That will not affect your final outcome. Many surgeons recommend some kind of compression or support after liposuction, but there is no definitive recipe on how that should occur. Don't worry about it. Best wishes.

Answer: #Liposuction - Wearing of neck garment after chin lipo While you should follow the advice and guidelines of your own surgeon, I'd say that missing a few days at this point should not affect the final result. I generally use a chin strap/wrap full-time for about a week after the surgery, although that also depends on the extent (if any) of skin undermining associate with the lipo, as well as the extent of the lipo. A small area of lipo in a 26 year old person is not treated the same as a larger lipo with skin undermining in someone twice that age. So if it was minor lipo and you wore the strap for the first week, you should be okay. Either way, though, touch base with your own PS.
