I've had a chin liposuction 5 weeks ago, and most of the swelling is gone. But the skin directly under the chin is still a bit loose and it 'curves' a little, appearing to be fat. The amount of fat extracted was not much, but it was precisely this lump that I wanted to get rid of and have a 'straight line' from my chin to my neck. Should I be worried that the operation failed or is it too early to tell? I've worn the compression religiously, but keep wearing it hoping it will go away...Thank you

This is a gamble and one you have to be willing to take consequences for. Perhaps nothing negative will occur, but there is no way to know. Thank you for your questions and good luck.
There are possible complications from any surgery. In neck lipo it is possible to cause irregularities by taking more fat from one area as opposed to another, infections can occur, bruising can occur.
Most of the time this type of procedure goes well without problems.
Your face will look more “chiseled” and sculpted; less round. A chin implant will give a little length to the face, but they have their own set of issues. Buccal fat pad removal of the cheek also diminishes the rounded face appearance.
