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!
