39F, 210lbs, 5'10, chin & neck liposuction: before & after 48 hours

Decided to finally do liposuction after other attempts to define my law line including Kybella, Coolsculpting and YLift in the jaw. My genetics are as such I will have large fatty jowls if I do not intervene in the area as I age. I was in the clinic 3 hours and the surgery took 40 minutes. There will be 4 weekly or biweekly post op visits to the clinic as I heal. I was instructed to keep the wrap on for 72 hrs straight. This is a progress picture 48 hrs in, showing immediate results but also some swelling. For aftercare, I take over the counter pain medication for discomfort and will be massaging the area to promote evenness and skin tightening. I was told rollers and face massage tools were okay to use. I had one large bruise on my neck but other than that minimal discoloration. There are three areas for stitching and the stitches will come out on their own eventually. I have to sleep sitting up to discourage build up of inflammation to the area. I am also eating an anti inflammatory diet to help with the swelling. Overall this hurts much less than Kybella did and recovery is going smoothly. I am not supposed to do heavy exercises for 4-6 weeks however. So far, I would recommend this treatment.
