I am having chin liposuction done in January and like most I have been researching like crazy. One thing I have noticed is after care directions for the head garment from Doctors! I read some say wear it for 3 days, some for 5, and others for 2 weeks!! Sadly, I have a job and I do not think I could get 2 weeks off!
