I had smart lipo going on three weeks ago to get rid of my double chin. I've been wearing the compression garment on and off because it gives me a headache and it hurts my jaw. My double chin looks even bigger now after smart lipo. I still can't see a jawline. When will I see a change and any advice to help with swelling would be awesome. Thanks!

Answer: Smart Lipo PrecisionTX in neck area The precision TX treatment from Smart Lipo should give you results that should have been visible since the beginning even with swelling. By 3 weeks you should be enjoying some difference on your neck size. If you have questions on your results then contact the physician that did your procedure for a quick follow up and evaluation.Hope this helps,Dr. Gus Diaz

Answer: A photo would be helpful...... .. however in the absence of a photo, I would agree with some of the comments below. Typically the result is very evident even one day after the surgery. The only exception I have ever seen in my practice is when the neck is extremely heavy and the amount of fat that needed to be removed to see any change was fairly substantial. (I am talking in the range of more than 75 or 100 ccs of fat removal. If this is your situation, significant swelling can obscure the final resesult for a long time (several weeks) before much of a change is evident. My suggestions are as follows: Sleep with your head, neck and back elevated with at least 4-5 pillows, or else sleep in a recliner until further notice. Secondly try to wear the compresion band more faithfully, I mean to say continuosly, but much looser, so you are not getting headaches. You may even be contributing to the swelling by wearing a tight garment in that location.My third suggestion is to call your surgeon and arrange a meeting right away to get some clarification about your status from him/her. There are many additional ancillary treatments that can reduce swelling and make you feel more comfortable about the outcome and about what you are, and are not seeing.
