When can I take a flight and go for a vacation after taking chin liposuction? Usually how long will it take to fully recover? Will the result of the procedure be seen immediately? If not, when will i start to see the result of chin lipo?
Answer: Post Chin Lipo activity and flying Assuming you are seen the day after your procedure (to be sure there are no hematomas (blood collections)) it is reasonable to fly 3 days after your procedure. If you were my patient, I would have you come back to the office before you flight (if it were under one week from time of procedure) and we would rewrap your head with a compression wrap just to be sure you would not have any issues during travel.As far as activity, certainly it would be advisable not to raise your blood pressure or strain for the first week post procedure. Starting on the second week, I typically advise patients to start moving more and exerting themselves a bit. I always tell them to "listen to their neck". If the neck starts to swell or feel odd during increased activity, I advise them to slow down.Results from chin lipo are very obvious and noticeable immediately after surgery. The first few days create some swelling which makes the result appear not as impressive, but even after just one week you should be able to see some significant positive changes.

Answer: Patients can travel the same day after liposuction of the chin. Liposuction of the chin and neck is a very simple and straightforward procedure performed under local anesthesia. You can travel the same day as the operation.

Answer: Chin Liposuction and Flights I have my patients wait 24 hours to go on a flight. Normally after neck/chin liposuction, if done with water assistance and local tumescent anesthesia, you are fine to do normal activity with a compression on the next day. My patients require neck compression for 3 days post procedure all day and then 7 days over night only. I wish you the best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Recovery after liposuction under chin I would say that the immediate recovery period after liposuction under the chin is about a week. There normally is some immediate improvement but there will also be some swelling, which can temporarily alter the appearance. It is also possible for some bruising to develop after the procedure. Strenuous activity should be avoided for a week or two as well. It can take a few months for the healing process to occur before seeing the final results. In regards to flying after the procedure, this decision would be up to your surgeon.
