Hi, i had chin lipo & buccal fat removal 6 months ago, May 2023. I have seen the consultant twice since and he has reasured me that i still have inflammation and its not fibrosis or fat that i have under my chin. It is now looking abit saggy even, the skin isnt saggy but my chin hangs and is not symetrical. I have pinched parts of my chin to show the thickness in pics. I also have b4 pics. Im 144lb, no weight gain since op. Massage daily, im not sure it is all inflammation. What should i do?
