After liposuction and chin implant, my neck feels tight and swollen. I am 3 weeks post op. I don't see any improvements in my neck contour after the lipo. I still have the double chin. Should I wear the neck strap longer? Will my results improve? I also have a numb chin and my lip does not come down when I smile or talk. I have the appearance of a stiff jaw. Should I be worried?
Answer: Numbness, pain and tingling following chin implant and liposuction Extreme tightness is extremely common 3 weeks following agressive chin liposuction. However, the other symptoms of numbness and difficulty moving are less common. You should discuss these concerns with the surgeon so that he/she can review these issues.

Answer: Chin implant with lipo results and expectations There will be some stiffness and woodiness in the neck until all edema and fibrosis settles down in the healing process. A neck strap will not help since it has been three weeks after surgery. Try to be patient; it is going to take time to for all of this to settle down. We expect some degree of numbness after this type of surgery to last approximately two to three months.

Answer: Results After Chin Lipo and Chin Implant Not seeing before and current pictures and not knowing the exact techniques performed, it is very difficult to comment on your results. Nevertheless, three weeks is too soon to accurately judge your ultimate results. In my experience, the contour of the neck will improve over several months following liposuction (especially if there is no appreciable weight gain). Swelling, tightness, numbness are not uncommon within the first several weeks following the procedures that you had performed.
