Chin Vaser Lipo and J-plasma results only visible for a little while after taking compression strap off. Thoughts?

Question

Just had double chin Vaser Lipo and j-plasma 5 days ago but I only see results when I take the compression strap off. 10 minutes go by and I look the same as before the procedure. Could results i see asoon as I take the compression band off be due to the tightness and not to the surgery? Help!

It is normal to have swelling and bruising for several weeks after this procedure, so what you are describing is expected at 5 days post-op. Swelling will resolve as tissues heal. Wearing your compression garment for several weeks will continue to help. You should start appreciating results 2-4 weeks post-op, but the final result (especially the skin tightening due to Renuvion/J-Plasma) takes 4-6 months.

Hi and
welcome to our forum!
Congratulations
on your recent procedure...The procedure of liposuction is an
"insult" to the soft tissues, resulting in swelling which will
initially TOTALLY obscure the operative result. The
purpose of a compression garment is to prevent bleeding and to control
swelling. We usually recommend its use for the first 4-6 weeks after the
procedure. 60-80%
of the swelling should subside within the first 6 weeks, with the remainder
slowly subsiding over 6-12 months.
You appear to be exhibiting normal postoperative swelling which will rapidly reaccumulate after the compression garment is removed.
Follow your surgeon's instructions.
Best wishes...
