I lost 32lbs hoping my double chin would go away, but it didn't budge. It's not terrible, but it still bothers me. I'm a healthy weight now, I take great care of my skin & I don't want my chin aging me. My jaw wasn't defined & I was carrying some fat under the chin as well. I had my chin lipo procedure done yesterday. It was done in office, I was given a prescription to keep me calm & my chin was numbed with lidocaine injections. The procedure only took 30 minutes. I was given a compression garment to wear for the next 5 days, then I will sleep in it for the next two weeks.
Pain wise, I'm doing fine. I haven't taken any pain pills. It hurts if I touch my neck, so I'm just leaving it alone. I don't seem to have any bruising yet, but it's only day two. I can definitely tell that my neck is swollen. I'll keep making progress reports as I heal.

I can definitely tell your jaw is more defined - but it still looks like you have swelling directly under the chin. Looking forward to more pictures and review as the swelling goes down. You look great so far!!!

Thank you ! Yes, definitely still swollen - but it's only been a week and a half. And some days it's better, others it's worse. Today my swelling was way down, then flared back up this evening.

It's now Thursday and I had my chin lipo Tues morning. Still no bruising, just swollen & sore to the touch. Nothing that needs pain medicine. I'm sleeping propped up and that's getting annoying, but I know it helps with the swelling.

It's now Saturday. My lipo was done on Tuesday. I've got light yellowish green bruising showing up, nothing bad at all. I was expecting pretty major bruising because my skin is sensitive, I bruise & swell easily, so I'm very pleasantly surprised. I've worn my compression wrap non-stop except for short breaks. Sometimes it starts to bug me & I've just got to take it off for a few minutes. My neck feels odd, a bit numb yet tender. I'm already noticing results even though I'm still definitely swollen.

Hi, thank you for the updates. I also had liposuction on Tuesday and my neck has major bruising still. Nearly all around the lower neck at the bottom of the head/neck strap. It's mostly purple with a bit of yellow so hopefully on the mend now. Your results sound really good so far. I took my strapping off for the first time today and I can see improvement even with the swelling. I left the compression off for an hour and could tell the difference after an hour. So I will wear the compression as much as possible for another 2 weeks. Mine wasn't smart liposuction. Good luck with yours

It's been 1 week today and my swelling is worse because I didn't wear my compression band nearly as much yesterday. It doesn't look like I even had anything done, lol. I've got a double chin again, but I'm assuming it's only temporary. I never did get much bruising, only light yellow, no purple at all. Much more minimal than I expected.

Well you are nothing like me, I still have quite visible bruising like a ring on my neck. Not trying to be funny but I'm still trying to stay out of public view in case people think I tried to hang myself. hoping it will all be gone by Monday :)

I do believe I am looking a lot better even at this early stage and looking forward to the progress and the difference I will see once the neck swelling has gone down. I have a couple of lumps which I'm reading will go away. I may have to start sporting a three day growth beard. Thank you for your updates :)

I had a hair appointment yesterday & was out and about and my bruising wasn't visible to anyone. I literally had to convince my hairdresser that I did have something done to myself, lol. My swelling was worse than days previous, so I'm going to wear my compression band more today. I have a couple lumpy areas too, if feels weird but I'm sure it's temporary :)
