So glad the 48hrs straight in the compression garment is OVER, was the most exciting part of my day besides being able to shower and see some results! The only downside to my day was trying to remove the blue marker from surgery day, it will not come off for the life of me!

I don't have any pain or bruising however I am pretty swollen but that's expected. The procedure and recovery have been so amazing thus far sometimes I forget I just had liposculpture.
Dr. Yovino did say I would be swollen and I would see some results in a week but for a few months my body will fluctuate fluids, one day I could see really good results the next day be swollen again so time will tell.

Day of surgery

The day of surgery I was VERY nervous! I had slight anxiety, higher blood pressure then normal, and was low key freaking out. I did a lot of research before I decided to do this procedure, probably a little to much research actually.
Anyone going to Dr. Yovino or Elite Body Sculpture needs to know that your not paying for a plastic surgeon your paying for his artistic eye and less down time.
Yes you could go somewhere else and pay a lot less but you really do get what you pay for. I am amazed at the fact that I was awake and the procedure was practically painless, the most pain I felt was equivalent to a shot or rubber band snap and I only felt that twice. During my procedure Dr. Yovino was very gentle and asked multiple times how I was doing, I felt extremely comfortable and safe.
My appointment was at 9am and I was out by 11am, the actual chin procedure was only 30mins.

After my procedure I got food and picked up my prescription then went home, and took a long nap. I Woke up and felt little to no pain i think the most annoying part is the compression garment you have to wear.

I did have the prescriptions for pain medication but Advil was more then enough, I really only took it because it's anti-inflammatory so I figure it will help with swelling I didn't actually need it for any pain.

The staff calmed my nerves and made me feel so comfortable. I'm beyond empressed with the way I was treated start to finish!! The only advice I have is to not feel anxious or nervous like I did because there was no reason for it!

I gave myself high blood pressure for no reason! Keep in mind I'm someone who hates pain, never had a huge surgery and isn't found of needles or blood!
Over all my experience in the office with Dr. Yovino & the nurses was amazing!!! After surgery you will have contact information to reach him and he actually personally called me to make sure I was doing ok!!

I have my appointment set for November 14 and I'm starting to get really excited! I have always had a very fat chubby face no matter the size my face always makes me look 60lbs heavier. I avoid taking pictures because no matter the angle besides a selfie I always looks huge! I can't wait to get a sculpted jaw line!!

Jill is there a way to edit and change this to post under chin liposuction?

I updated the community for you :)

Good luck! I had mine done a month ago and I love the results!
I wish you the best. I felt the same way, my surgery was Oct.14th.
Thank you!, my appointments this morning I'm nervous and can't sleep!! Did you do traditional lipo, smart lipo, or laser lipo?
