Lipo of Neck, Unsure of Results - 1 Week

You can expect to see results a few weeks after liposuction of your chin/neck, but your final results may take up to 3 or 4 months to allow for skin contraction and shrinkage.  Younger patients (<40) will usually have very good results due to the elasticity of their skin.  A garment is helpful to be worn in the first few weeks after surgery to control the swelling and improve the final contour.

Be patient for now, but consult with your plastic surgeon for more details throughout your recovery.

Best wishes,

Hi Sonya70-

At one week swelling is at its' peak. Be sure to sleep elevated. Often a support strap is used to help with the temporary swelling. It will take 6-12 weeks to start to fully appreciate your results. Good luck.

Sincerely,
