Procedure four weeks ago w/local. Two weeks ago out of nowhere the jaw on the left side became stiff. I cannot open my mouth to get a toothbrush in. If I try to pry it open, the pain is unbearable. No pain otherwise when talking. To more accurately describe, it seems like the masseter has shrunk and can't open any further. Any ideas what's going on? Hard to move my tongue from left to right when I stick it out. Has not improved in two weeks and I have been sedentary. Starting to worry.

Yes having your sides feel hard after liposuction is normal. It is from swelling mostly. You can do massage, lymphatic massage, or do Venus radiotherapy treatments all of which will help improve this hard area. Good luck! DSR
It's a great question. When the armpit skin is thick and elastic then armpit fat does really well with liposuction. Tiny holes are made and very small instruments are used to remove the stubborn fat. Once everything heals, no one will know that a little lipo was needed.
