I'm 10 days post-op from neck lipo and arm lift. I'm pleased and grateful for the procedure, but also hopeful it will improve even further. I've been wearing compression on my neck 24/7. My surgeon switched me from the original compression garment to a simple ace bandage. When I take off the ace, I can see lumpy lines where the compression isn't exactly "even". Is this a sign that I am wearing it incorrectly? Might I compress my neck into a permanently deformed state if I wear it wrong?

Answer: Chin Liposuction and Compression Garment
In general, there will be residual swelling after chin liposuction for several weeks. I recommend the prefabricated garment. However, if the bandage is preventing a fluid collection and providing good support, this is not unreasonable. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Compression garment after neck liposuction
There are various types of compression garments for use after liposuction of the neck. You most likely still have some swelling present at 10 days after your procedure, so the area may not look completely even at this point. It would be difficult to wear the compression garment incorrectly, and even if you did, I doubt it would have a significant influence on your final result. You will not compress your neck into a permanently deformed state.
