I had chin lipo done 5 weeks ago- she also did my jaw and neck area. I’ve noticed since the procedure that the left side of my face looks larger and sags more than my right. I’m worried that it won’t even out since I’m already 5 weeks out? She says it will- but I don’t trust that she’s telling me the truth I feel like she’s just trying to dismiss me. Also curious is the lumpy/wavy area underneath my chin will smooth out or is it permanently lumpy?
Answer: Recommend doing a combination of ultherapy and morpheus8 to help tighten and further define the face after liposuction Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Answer: Liposuction It is still too early to judge your results. Liposuction can worsen or lead to skin contour irregularities or laxity. You can consider Morpheus8 treatments if that should occur. Continue to follow up with your surgeon as scheduled.

Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Uneven lipo results It's common for there to be some swelling and asymmetry following chin liposuction and facial contouring procedures. Swelling can take several weeks to subside, and it's not uncommon for one side of the face to appear larger or more swollen than the other during the initial healing phase. However, it's important to have a follow-up consultation with your surgeon to address your concerns and have a professional assessment of your specific situation.

Answer: Post liposuction care I always recommend to my patients to use a jade roller and heating pad with nightly aggressive massage to smooth out the neck post surgery, this often times takes care of any unevenness. I would wait 6 months to see the full results, many liposuction patients continue to see results months after the initial surgical swelling. Sometimes patients require a little lipo touch up if more was removed on one side than the other.
