How long does swelling under the chin last after lipo of that area?

Bruising and swelling are normal in the suctioned areas of the neck and usually increase slightly after the removal of any tape or foam. The bruising will decrease over 3-4 weeks, but may last as long as 6 weeks. The majority of the swelling will be gone within the first 3-4 weeks. However it may take 6-9 months to disappear completely. The compression garment helps reduce the swelling, and the longer it is worn, the more quickly the process will proceed.

Our office specializes in chin and neck liposuction. In our office we use compression and massage to improve the swelling in the neck.  We also advise patients to massage the areas of scar tissue with Plato's Scar Serum twice daily. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

 Most patients see almost  immediate benefit from liposuction with the acute swelling generally gone by two weeks. Final aesthetic results may take several months however. When liposuction is aided by a laser the thermal damage can prolong swelling.
