The hard thick area under my chin has left me with a square jawline instead of an oval shape to my jawline which I once had. I have worn the pressure garment diligently.
Answer: 4 weeks after Neck Lift Thank you for your question. Some patients can experience irregular contours or firmness after liposuction in any area. It might represent a small area of bruising that is in the process of resolving. That can take a few weeks. Patience is helpful.

Answer: Crooked Smile and Fullness after a Neck Lift Thanks for your questionWith respect to your smile, there is a chance that the nerve that runs under your jawline was stretched or bruised. This almost always returns to normal, but it can take some time (I posted a link below with some more info on this). The fullness is normal after a neck lift and again, can often take months to fully resolve. Be sure to have your surgeon monitor it over time,James Bonaparte

Answer: Swelling & Chin Liposuction After Care--Venus Legacy, Exilis, Kybella, Ultherapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen, Massage It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You most likely have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. To speed up healing, you can try adding hyperbaric oxygen, lymphatic massage, venus legacy or exilis radiofrequency treatments. To improve final results, we will often do a kybella and ultherapy about 4-6 weeks after neck liposuction to get more of an outcome. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Swelling under Chin after Necklift Thank you for your question. While it is difficult to assess exactly what is occurring without a photo, it sounds as if thickness is within the normal limits of healing. After a necklift and liposuction, you will have quite a bit of swelling under the chin and around the neck. This is secondary to the surgery itself and also because of any sutures which are dissolving under the skin. With time, this swelling and thickness should soften and resolve. Be sure to discuss your concern with your surgeon, as only he/she knows exactly what happened during your procedure. I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin
