Hi! I was nervous too, let me know how it went! I wore the garment the first 4 days 24 hours a day (because i was at home) & then after that, only at bedtime for one month :)

It actually wasn’t as bad as I thought! I’m still a little bit swollen and puffy but I’m surprised I didn’t bruise... my neck hurts a lot but I’m just hoping to see a difference when the swelling goes down because right now I look almost the same! Haha

Glad to hear! You’ll start to get puffier about day 3 for some reason & the neck bruising will appear as well. Yeah I was feeling the same way, but Dr. Lazos was spot on about it taking 3 months to see final results! I was in month 2 before anyone noticed that my face looked, “skinnier” lol Hope you heal fast!

You look absolutely fantastic. I got the same procedures done on 5/22. I’m 4 days in, can’t wait to see my month mark results. I have zero bruising besides the area he made the incision for the lipo! I appreciate you sharing your journey. This has been amazing to watch unfold. Also, it serves as a reminder that we all must be patient to see our results!

thats so awesome you didn’t get any bruising! yes, it definitely helps to remind yourself to be patient when you’re feeling like you aren’t seeing results. the more time that passes the better. two more weeks will be 3 months for me & i am JUST beginning to see the right side hollow out. i have a super full moon face, so I definitely was worried i wouldn’t benefit much from this. but i do see a good difference :)

That's awesome @elletea13, when did you begin to see your jawline get more defined? By the month mark? Also, which results came first for you - - chin lipo or the buccal?

Lower jawline still a bit tender, numb & swollen & upper area by ears a bit as well. Bruising on neck is almost all gone. Will continue to wear chin garment for another two weeks to sleep, as he recommended...

You seriously look amazing! I can definitely see a big difference already. Sorry one more question ha. It doesn’t look like you have any extra skin or sagging skin where the fat was removed. Is that true? I was wondering about where the now loose skin would go. Do you think it’s the garment that tightens it/lessens the skin?

Hey there! Aw thanks! I know i’m still 2 months out until “fully” healing, but so far so good! Posting my one month pics today :) so for me, there was no loose skin fortunately. You definitely need to wear the garment for at least one month to help reattach the skin to the muscle (had to google it Lol). I wore the garment 24 hours a day while i was at home (Sat-Tues) then only at night for a month after :) Posting 1 month post surgery pics now!

Oh that makes SO much sense about the garment reattaching the skin! I thought it was just for swelling ha I had no idea. Thank you so much for your prompt answers! Your updates look fabulous!! :)
