Hello: I had a nose job and a double chin liposuction three weeks ago. I'm really worried about the neck, it was swollen from the beginning but ten days after the surgery these lumps appeared and I'd like to know if that's normal or if it is the result of a bad surgery. If they are normal, how long will they take to disappear? Thank you.
Answer: Lumps and Bumps after Chin Liposuction
Lumps and bumps take 3 to 6 months to resolve. The more fat that was suctioned the longer it will take to resolve. Keep the faith.

Answer: Lumps After Double Chin Liposuction The healing process in general can take up to one month for the majority of swelling to subside, incisions to close, sutures to come out, and for bruising to completely go away.It is not uncommon to be experiencing some #lumps following neck and chin procedures. Some degree of firmness or lumpiness under the skin is normal after surgery and will resolve with time. Local #massage of the areas may accelerate the resolution of this problem, which normally takes 2-4 months to disappear completely.The lumps should diminish with time. If not, your doctor can provide suggestions for this concern and in-office medi-spa treatments may be an option. Your incisions will go through many changes before seeing the final result of your procedure. But, it's best to be patient in the meantime. If during your healing, you have any concerns, it is suggested to call your board-certified surgeon or their medical staff and discuss those #concerns.

Answer: Liposuction recovery in Los Angeles for the chin and neck
I would address this issue in the early phase with your plastic surgeon so that he/she may advise you on more contoured compression and massage techniques. Early treatment will improve results dramatically.

Answer: Lumps are not unusual after chin liposuction
Lumpiness is usually related to swelling and scar tissue formation. This is best treated with massaging the area to improve lymphatic flow and soften the scar tissue. You SHOULD NOT do this without talking to your plastic surgeon. Lumpiness can take up to 6 months to improve and is related to the amount of tissue removed and the thickness of the skin in the area.

Answer: The Lumps and Bumps of Chin Liposuction
Anya thank you for the pictures. I do not know the extent of your chin liposuction but typically the liposuction occurs just beneath the chin and jaw and not on the front of the neck. The reason I mention this is because it appears that you have some lumps in the neck as well as swelling. I would recommend. Aggressive manual massage of the tissue and near continuous use of your compressive garment. Give this area of treatment at least 3 months for the final contour and tissue softness to improve.
