Pimple-like rash after chin lipo? 3 weeks post-op. (photos)

Question

I’m about 3 weeks post chin lipo. I’ve noticed these little bumps around my chin a few days after and I stopped wearing my chin strap about a week ago because of them and since then it’s still gotten worse.. I’m not taking any medication btw. I was wondering if I’m just like breaking out because of the strap or if this is something more serious?

John Mesa, MD · Answer

Patients with questions and concerns about their chin lipo  healing process should address those concerns with the surgeon that performed the operation, ideally during a follow up consultation.

So i haven't seen this before but tether the strap or the surgery could have led to this. Either way, keep the strap off for a day or two and cleanse and this should improve. Liposuction will irritate the hair follicles and i suspect this is what is going on. Hope that helps. Adam Goodwin

It is not uncommon that a patient will break out in this manner after the procedure you underwent. A topical steroid cream treatment may be beneficial in getting the rash to subside. If it persists, however, you may want to seek the opinion of a Dermatologist.
