Almost 6 weeks post op
WORTH IT$2,500
I can't believe it's been almost 6 weeks since my liposuction! Skin on my neck seems to be getting tighter everyday. Still numb under chin close to my incision.
Off for the summer so I'm hoping to lose a few pounds! I was always disappointed with my weight loss before on diets because I always still felt fat because my neck was fat. No more turkey neck for me!! So happy with the results!

Swelling is going down
Swelling is going down every day. Tenderness still in the middle of neck. Not so much soreness on the sides. Still happy with results that will only get better from here. Got my haircut to show off my new chin and smaller neck :)

wow you look like a differant person have you had anyone tell you that they dont recognise you? It's a good feeling. and to think that you will continue to improve. so happy for you
Thank you! No one has come out and said anything but they do seem to stare at me... I guess they are trying to figure out what is different. :)
I know they notice the big differance look younger. I've had apologize cause they didn't say hello they say they didn't recogize me.
How long did you wear the face garment before removing it?
I wore it 24 hours a day for 5 days and now I only wear it at night.
Gorgeous!
Awe thank you!!!
did you keep your chin wrapped up?
I wore my chin garment for 5 days 24 hours a day. Then only at night when I sleep.
Thanks for this tip as well! I think because you were so dedicated to wearing the compression garment your skin was able to tighten up more effectively. I will try this as well. I have 8 days off from work so I think this is definitely doable!
I would have loved to wear my longer than the 5 days for 24 hours a day but I had to go back to work. It didn't bother me at all when I had to wear for 24 hours. I guess because I was used to it. It started bothering me to wear when I went all day without it and then put it on when I got home. I caught myself many times pulling, tugging and trying to adjust it. So if you get to go longer than 5 days 24 hours a day then I would do it.
Hi, how did you sleep, on your back?? It's so hard for me to sleep on my back so I been taking Percocet at night so it out me to sleep
I sleep in a recliner for 5 days. I knew if I tried to sleep in the bed with extra pillows...I wouldn't have stayed elevated all night.

Still swollen....
Today is 10 days post op and I am still swollen. I have tenderness under my chin, both sides of my neck and middle of my neck. I have been massaging several times a day. Still happy with the results but can't wait until swelling goes down and skin starts tightening up.

It's looking great it will continue to improve
Thanks for your answer above! I sew, so I put some extra knit fabric squares on my ears and at the bottom of my head gear and it helped a lot. If I can ask another question, were your lymph nodes sore? It sounds like you had swelling like I do. I'm eight days post-op and am wearing the compression gear almost all day still. I am sleeping at a 45 degree angle still to cut down on the swelling. I have to go back to work next Monday, so attempting to reduce it as much as possible. Any other suggestions?
PS- You're looking AWESOME!!
Thank you! I am a month out and my lymph nodes are still sore. Not as bad but still tender. It's good that you are wearing your compression that long. I wore mine for 5 days 24 hours then only wore at night for two weeks. after my two weeks I went one night without sleeping in the compression and expected to wake up the next morning swollen up like a blow fish but I wasn't. So I knew it was ok not to wear it anymore.
