Had lipo on Chin jowls, neck; I feel like grabbing sandpaper and scratching my lower face of the horrid itchiness.

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

As the nerves regenerate following a procedure, the itching, burning, tingling and shooting #sensations will occur. Ice, moisturizers and gentle #massaging are helpful during this phase of the #healing process. During surgery, not only the skin but the underlying muscles are tightened to create a better and longer lasting result. Additionally, the #swelling will move downward in the first week and the neck will feel even tighter. Do not be alarmed: the sensation will decrease during the first month. The final results of the procedure are typically most noticeable 2-4 months following the #Vaser. The swelling should gradually diminish while the contours of the treated area(s) can continue to improve up to one year post procedure; becoming more apparent in appearance. If you ever have concerns about your healing, or pain that you question to be unusual, it is important to call your plastic surgeon to discuss these further asked to be examined. In this case, perhaps your doctor can prescribe or recommend a way to alleviate your itching discomfort.
