Dear Adventurous425,I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
If you don’t mind wearing a compression garment and possibly showing a little bit of bruising and being a little sore at work you could probably go back to work the next day.I suggest reviewing this with your provider. We typically discuss returning back to work during consultations.Delivering consistent quality liposuction results is more difficult than most people believe.

The lower 1/3 of the face is primarily determined by the shape and size of the mandible especially the relationship between the mandible and the middle part of the face or the Maxilla. In order to make a good assessment we need to see relationships between both those structures. Your pictures...
This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...
