5 weeks post neck lift and liposuction underchin.Neck bands are getting better- still tight at times. Is this normal?

February 7, 2019
Asked By:Jbettarel in Riverside, CA

I was hoping to be healed by now. My surgeon is great. I know everyone heals differently. I still have swelling under my chin, feels lumpy bumpy there as on one side of jawline and feels super tight. Neck bands are getting better- still tight at times. Is this normal for so long after the surgery?
