After jaw and neck lipo 32 hours ago, the neck strap I was given for compression has left an indentation on my neck (Photo)

It faded yesterday upon waking & doesn't occur during the day, just at night. I am sleeping on my back propped up by three pillows. I am worried the indentation will be permanent mark.

Yes, this is typical. You still have swelling, which can take several weeks to resolve. If you're concerned, I recommend following up with your surgeon. I hope this helps.

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject...
