Dear jadorelavie,in most cases, recovery process is not that long but the patients can have swelling for several weeks. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
jadorelavie. Liposuction of the jaw line and neck regions is an excellent and relatively easy way to remove unwanted fat in the area and contour the neck and jaw. It is more effective than Kybella and results are realized faster. Also it can be done under local anesthesia.Initial swelling starts resolving immediately and in 3 to 4 weeks significant improvement is seen. It may take 3 months for 100% of swelling to resolve. Be certain to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck
