Chin lipo

Saw my Dr. a couple days ago for my 2 week check up. We’re both really pleased with the outcome so far :) . He told me I can just wear the compression garment at night now for another week and then I can be done with it. I’ve started getting lumpiness and he told me to gently massage the areas so I’ve been doing that. I need to go buy some scar cream for my incisions- they’re so small which is awesome. I go back in a month so I’ll update this then. Swelling is up and down and I’m starting to get some feeling back in the areas that were numb :)

One week down- one more to go until I can take this damn compression garment off! It’s driving me crazy. My bruising is going away but the swelling is weird! Some days there’s hardly any and then days like today I feel so puffy. I think I’ve been looking down too much today and now my neck kind of hurts and I feel really swollen. I’m looking forward to sleeping on my side again soon and showing off my results :)

Yesterday on day 5 post op I had my compression garment off for too long. Normally I take it off for about an hour a day to shower and blow dry my hair etc. I had it off for about 4 hours yesterday due to going on a date with my bf and running some errands etc. Today I woke up more swollen than I have been so that goes to show that the garment really does help and should be worn as directed :/ I will say tough, my back lipo area is more swollen today too so maybe I’m just now hitting that peak time of swelling that a lot of people mention on days 3/4. My neck is stiff from sleeping on my back and at an angle lol. I also feel like some sensations are coming back under my chin so things are a bit sore. Going back to work today for a short shift ( definitely going to wear the compression garment ) so that should be interesting.
