Dorsocervical Fat Pad Liposuction- Significant swelling 6.5 weeks Post Op - Should I be concerned? (photo)

April 6, 2019
Asked By:HannahG1992 in Tampa, FL

I had liposuction of my dorsocervical fat pad area 6 weeks and 2 days ago. I’m still having significant swelling and tightness in the area. There were some issues with finding the correct type of compression garment that covered the entire area, therefore I did not wear a properly fitting garment (I wore a super tight sports bra for 3.5 weeks). I have not been cleared to exercise yet. I’m concerned I will still have my hump at the end. Attached are my progression photos.
