Banding in neck normal after lipo? (Photo)

November 8, 2014
Asked By:Kittykarizma in Sacramento, California

I am now 10 weeks post op liposuction under the chin. I developed adhesions causing skin to "tack" down. Aggressively massaged and currently do ultrasound per Surgeon suggestion. I still have lots of banding that is seen in most lighting. Does this usually also go away within about 6 mos like the lumps and swelling? When I look up people can see lots of little lines and ropes just underneath the skin. Plus there's a spongy "pad" where the adhesio was like it turned into a thick layer of tissue.
