After chin lipo, how long before I can lay flat?

We let our chin lipo patients sleep flat after their surgery.   This may cause a little transient swelling but it will quickly dissipate.  My best,  Dr Commons

 Hi, I have performed many Neck Liposuctions and Chin Augmentations using chin implants for over 30 years.  From the photos, your chin is weak.  A weak chin creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin.  Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. 





 I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty.  I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone.  You may want to keep your head elevated slightly for the first several days to reduce any swelling from the liposuction. 



Hope this helps.
