Is chin strap necessary for small removal of fat under chin?

January 11, 2015
Asked By:morezfour in Fort Washington, MD

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
