I am American and had liposuction on my double chin 5 days ago. My bulge under my chin still looks the same if not slightly worse. I had been mugged about 5 years ago and my jaw broken, but I dont think the scar tissue, would have affected my double chin as the tissue never felt strange before and I have had it for years. Is it possible that the swelling will still go way down? I've been on a million blogs and my doctor is on holiday till the 17th. Every where I read seems to say "After 2 weeks" most of the swelling is gone. True? THANK YOU!

Answer: What you need to know about swelling after chin liposuction Swelling is an inevitable byproduct of chin liposuction. The severity varies from patient to patient, but most will see a significant reduction in the swelling within 1-2 weeks, with nearly all swelling gone by the third week after the procedure. Compression can help with the swelling, which is why I have my patients wear a chin strap for the first few days. You can also sleep with your head slightly elevated to reduce swelling a bit faster. Make sure you are getting plenty of fluids as well. My guess is that you will start to look and feel better within the next week.

Answer: How Long Until Swelling Goes Down After Chin Liposuction It is still very early in your healing. Wearing a #compression garment may be suggested the first week and then nightly for up to six weeks. Local #massage of the areas may also accelerate the resolution of this problem, which normally takes 2-4 months to disappear completely. The swelling will also continue to diminish. So, you must be patient. If ever during your healing, you have any concerns, it is suggested to call your board-certified surgeon or their medical staff to discuss.

Answer: Chin Liposuction Swelling Bruising and swelling are normal in the suctioned areas and usually increase slightly after the removal of any tape or foam. The bruising will decrease over 3-4 weeks, but may last as long as 6 weeks. The majority of the swelling will be gone within the first 3-4 weeks. However it may take 6-9 months to disappear completely. The compression garment helps reduce the swelling, and the longer it is worn, the more quickly the process will proceed.

Answer: How Long Until Swelling Goes Down After Chin Liposuction Thank you for your question. 5 days is too early to see a result especially without using a compression neck band. Most of the swelling is not gone by 2 weeks. Final results take 3- 6 months. Discuss your concerns with ypur Plastic Surgeon
