I'm booked for lipo and have been told I need a garment for my torso, however, have been told I do not need a garment for the lipo on my chin. Should I be concerned by this?
Answer: I would ask for one If you are willing to wear a facelift type "jaw bra" dressing for 1 week after chin liposuction, it will probably decrease your bruising and swelling and get you to where you want to be more quickly. That said, if you are having a chin implant too, your surgeon may not want that pressure on the implant, which makes sense.

Answer: Compression after chin liposuction Compression, especially right after surgery, is very helpful in minimizing bruising and swelling. You may want to ask your surgeon about this. Most of the time, prolonged compression of the chin and neck area is not practical, and therefore the amount of time that compression is worn is planned to be shorter than other parts of the body where it is easy to hide the compression. However, that does not mean that immediate compression is not useful.

Answer: Is compression essential after liposuction under chin? I would say compression is not essential after liposuction under the chin and the decision on whether to use it is based on the surgeon performing the procedure. Some surgeons prefer to use compression and others do not. I personally do use a compression garment for my patients after liposuction under the chin and feel it helps reduce swelling and helps with smoothing of the skin.

Answer: Compression Hi Thank you for your question. My protocol for my chin lipo patients is to wear a chin strap compression garment for a week. Compression not only helps with minimizing swelling and bruising but also to retract and define the jawline. A good compression garment should fit snug but not to too tight that it leads to discomfort.Hope this helps,Dr. Dillon
