How long does it take to see the results of chin lipo? (Photos)

Question

I had chin lipo done almost 4 weeks ago and I’m really not noticing a difference and I’m just wondering if this is normal or not? I didn’t get any lumps which is a good thing. I wore the head garment 24/7 for almost 3 weeks with the exception of taking it off to bathe or run errands and now I’m wearing it just while I sleep. I’m worried that i wasted my money because it doesn’t look like there’s any difference. Thanks in advance for answering my question!

3 months to see the final results. Everyone swells a different amount. The best thing you can do is know that you have done everything right in terms of postop care. It would be bad if you wasted your money but in the end that is simply just part of the process. At least you were under treated and not OVER treated as that is difficult to fix! Best of luck and keep waiting. Some people often do require a secondary treatment.

It takes three months to get your results after liposuction. The area is prone to swelling and the swelling will hide results.  Please be patient and wait at least six weeks to get some assessment of what your results would look like.Three months as a fair time to call things final or very close to final. It's better to of been under treated then over treated.  That may not be what you wanna hear but people who have been overtreated are left with unreparable deformities.  Some people are perfect candidate for certain procedures while others are not good candidates.  In reality most people are somewhere in the middle. The chin and neck have different components that all add to the overall look that we each have. These include skeletal structure, Platysma muscle fat and skin.  If all of the structures are ideal except fat then liposuction is the perfect treatment option.  When there's more than one issue liposuction alone becomes a partial treatment. Still, often enough to give a very nice result.  Be patient. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
