The week after surgery, everything looked great. My skin was smooth, no lumps or unevenness, no fat. Starting on day 14, I started noticing what looks like fat on both sides under my chin and further down my neck. It looks funny from underneath because there isn't that puffiness directly under my chin, just on the sides. So it looks uneven. Is this swelling or permanent? I wore my chin strap for a week straight and then switched to only at night based on surgeons directions? Should I be worried?
