I had a small amount of fat excised from under chin...one stitch. I was told to wear the chin strap 24/7 for 1 week, but my ears and the bruised area under chin have become so painful I had to take it off. I'm at the 3 day point....is it really necessary to try to wear it for the remaining days? Thank you. I appreciate your time

Answer: The benefits of a compression strap after chin liposuction or debatable. I generally asked the patients to wear a chin strap for a few weeks after liposuction of the chin and neck when it is convenient. It is debatable whether it has any effect on the long-term outcome.

Answer: Having some discomfort after the procedure is not always uncommon Thanks for your question. Having some discomfort after the procedure is not always uncommon; having pain that would stop you from wearing your compression garment would be a little more worrisome to me and I would suggest that you contact your provider and see what they want to do – like seeing you to make sure there is nothing wrong going on with you and your procedure. We do recommend that you wear a compression garment after all of our liposuction procedures – all day and night for the first week, and then every evening for several weeks thereafter.
