OK...so finally starting to see results I am pleased with but still feel I have a little ways to go. A tiny bit of lumpiness if I really try to look hard to see some. Still some mild swelling but much better than before so I would say things are on the right track and healing. I don't regret it at all, the only thing I regret is that I did not have a more realistic idea of how long the healing process would be which is my own fault...I was told, I just thought because I am me I would recover faster lol.

had the same done,, it's been 3 1/2 weeks and I've seen little improvement but, it takes MONTHS for swelling to go down and re shape. I wear me garment as much as possible and still have tenderness and numbness and my doc was AMAZING. I have notice tightening and on my 3 week check ( couldn't do post op 2 week ) my doctor said I was 30%. Just hang in there, where it as much as possible for the first 12-14 weeks your body takes time to heal ,ppl make lipo sound easy BEFORE you go ,it's a a healing process !!! we'll have our sexy back soon :)

I had lip to neck as well as a few other Mommy makeover things... The only visible thing is my neck, which I contemplated about for a long time and finally decided at the last minute in the changing room to do it. My surgery was January 10th, so I am now 2 weeks, 2 days post op... My Dr. only told me to wear the head bandage for one week, I questioned it, but they said not to wear it beyond a week... There is some lumpiness around my chinline which I'm worried about... At my 2nd follow-up the Dr. injected a little steroid on each side of my chin, saying that it would speed the healing process.... I'm just so hoping that I don't look worse than before... Does anyone know if the lumpiness eventually smooths out?

Thanks for the great visuals and story. Appreciated you taking the time to post it. Congrats on a successful procedure. Curious..why did you opt to stay awake during the procedure?

I have never had surgery before so I had no desire to be put to sleep as that poses more risks than the procedure alone. In other words I am a scaredy cat to be put to sleep. Call me a mild control freak but I just like to know what is going on. And I would certainly choose to stay awake were I to do it again because there was no pain really though the jerking feeling was odd plus it keeps the procedure far more cost effective. Local numbing is much cheaper than being put under. Glad my review could help :)

Sorry for the late reply.. I am just a chicken when it comes to surgery since I had never had any before and I guess a bit of a control freak...as in I need to know what's going on at all times...lol

Hi Candyking, my name is Viviane and I wanted to say thanks for a great story! I found it to be extremely helpful and confirmed my decision to move forward. I'd very much like to go to your same doctor as the cost is the best I've seen this far. Would you be willing to provide his info as I may contact and schedule a consultation please. I would be most appreciative for your help. Thank you in advance, Viviane

Finally improving

CandyKingDecember 11, 2013
OK...so the healing is very slow and go but I think it is finally starting to look better? I am told the swelling is normal at this point and to keep wearing the chin strap at night for now. The horrible chin strap! lol

How does it look now? I had neck/chin lipo on Dec. 3rd. I am still waiting for results, I do see a little bit results for sure but I have lumps under my jaw and you can see it and feel it, I am trying to massage it all out. I still feel stiff too. I am curious how you are doing being it's been a month for you. Let us know :) TIA

Slow and steady wins the race?

So I wore my chin strap 24/7 for 5 days. Then I had to go back to work so I was transitioning to only wearing it at night. The first day back to work was ok but swelling started and kicked in by the end of the day. In the car on my way home I put my chin strap back on and kept it on overnight. However, as soon as I took it off in the morning swelling kicked back in. Worse than ever and yes I am taking motrin. My Plastic Surgeon said motrin every six hours and chin strap as much as possible. UGH....it is depressing to go from the before pic to slightly improved and to now looking even worse! But, I am told in time this swelling will resolve and my new improved chin line will magically appear. I really hope so....I am at day 9 so I guess it is still early...
