I had neck lipo and chin implant done about 3 weeks ago. I have to wear a compression garment for my neck but it goes over my chin as well. Im actually not sure if its supposed to go over my chin or not. Should it be going over the chin? Im scared of the garment moving the implant with the constant pressure.

Answer: Chin implant and compression garment i don't think the compression garment will affect your chin implant but you should check with your surgeon to be sure that they think it's okay. Good luck! DSR

Answer: Will compression garment move chin implant? Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures, including Chin Augmentation with dermal fillers or silastic chin implants, for over 30 years. You should follow the instructions of your Chin Implant Surgeon. I do not use or allow compression garments to go over the chin area following chin implant placement. When the chin is weak, this creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy, the lower face looks short, de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a "double chin". Proper placement of a silastic chin implant adds forward projection to the chin thereby creating harmony and balance to the lower face. Using the same incision, liposuction can be performed to reduce the fat and further shape the neck. Excess skin, from below the chin, can also be removed through the same incision. I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty (requires extensive tissue dissection, bone cuts and placement of metal screws and plates to secure the cut segments of bone). I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone. Hope this helps.
