Are these lumps after FaceTite and chin lipo likely to resolve? (Photo)

Question

I’m 2.5 weeks post op from Facetite and chin lipo. I have large hard bumps under my neck. Is this normal and likely to resolve? It kind of looks like I have major swollen lymph nodes.

Dear curiousifnormal,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a liposuction surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides  you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.

Developing some lumps after a procedure such as FaceTite is normal this early on.  I recommend to my patients that they start massage to the area as early as 3 days post op after FaceTite.  These lumps typically fully resolve with time.  Make sure you follow up with your surgeon.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

If you are unhappy with your results please speak to your physician and ensure he was a full body VASER HD liposuction physician with expensive experience in body shaping and not just traditional fat reduction. including the use of Facetite, which requires aftercare to ensure no scar tissue develops. At this point you should be using compression, RF treatments like venus legacy / exilis ultra / inmode forma or contoura and lymphatic massage to get you through healing.   We always add shock wave therapy such as cellutone, z wave, and eclipse evive to help prvent scar tissue formation and ensure an even and smooth result. It will take 6-12 months to see the final outcome.   If you are unhappy you can get a revision procedure by an expert in VASER HD lipo.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It’s difficult to say without a formal exam but firm swelling and some irregularities are quite normal this soon after FaceTite. I typically have my FaceTite patients start lymphatic drainage and massage treatments at about 3 weeks after the procedure. It’s best to ask your surgeon about your healing and what can be done at this stage to help things along.
