So Happy I Finally Did It - Chin Liposuction San Diego, CA

Still loving it

It's exactly 3 months since I had my chin lipo procedure (Feb 17). I continue to see improvement and am really loving how my profile looks. The swelling on my jaw line is almost completely gone and the skin on my neck and under my chin is starting to tighten. The swelling under my chin has gone down but there is still some residual swelling directly under my chin and there is still slight numbness in some areas. Overall I am so pleased - definitely worth doing this procedure! My PS said things will continue to improve over the next 2 to 3 months.

Thank you so much for sharing!!! I am considering this myself and your posts were really helpful. They gave me some hope that I won't be a 35 year old with a "turkey neck" anymore. Lol

I'm 5 weeks post surgery and continue to notice improvements. I still have a small circular pocket of swelling on each side of my jaw. I also have a pocket of swelling directly under my chin in the center. I saw my surgeon yesterday and he is very pleased with the progress. He said 5 weeks is still very early in the healing process and this is the procedure the gift that keeps on giving for at least 5 months. So I should see continued improvement over the next 4 months. He also mentioned the pocket of swelling on my jaw is near each ligament and that area tends to hold on to the swelling the longest so he's not worried at all that the swelling will not go away. I still have some numbness but for the most part, no discomfort.

You must be very happy with your progress! Did your doc tell you keep wearing the compression garment, or are you finished with it? Best wishes !

Thank you! I wore my compression garment for the first two weeks but I'm done now!

How are you doing now? I am currently 12 days post op and a few days ago i noticed a hard lump under my chin and its creating a double chin appearance. Do you think the massaging help your lumps? I'm nervous it will never go away.

I did massage my lumps for a few weeks - the lump on my jaw is essentially gone now thankfully! I'm still seeing improvement - I'm 11 weeks post op. Looking forward to the continued improvement over the next two months

I'm almost 3 weeks post op and things continue to progressively look better. I decided to compare my pictures now to a few I took about 2 months ago. These were pictures where I really worked hard to find a "good angle" as I really hated the way I looked in pictures. So I consider these before pictures "good" - I was happy with them (which was rare).
When I compare these with my current pictures I can already see a huge difference - and I'm only 3 weeks out. I still have a little swelling on my jaw that you can see, it varies from day to day, but overall things continue to improve and the swelling continues to go down. Still glad I did chin lipo!
