I Can Feel my Neck Muscles After Chin Lipo - What Should I Do?

parsleyshakeMay 14, 2011
I can feel my neck muscle (with my hand) after chin lipo. I could not feel it before. I feel it right in the middle of my neck like a straight line going from my adam's apple to just under my chin. It is very tight now. Before it was not. When I look up, I really feel the tightness. Should I keep stretching it by looking up? Should I massage it? What can I do?

Thanks for the photos.  The sloping profile of your neck may be related to an anatomical structure known as a low hyoid bone.  This horseshoe shaped bone is the "rack" on which your larynx, or voicebox, is suspended.  The chin implant you had 3 years ago has done well to...
