After about 10 years of wanting to do it, I am finally have chin liposuction on 9/17. I am really worried about the bruising and swelling after reading some of the other posts. I have lost nearly 100 pounds in the last three years, but the area under my chin has not changed. Since my face is the first thing people notice, I am very paranoid about it and finally decided I have too many years ahead of me to live it unhappy with my appearance (just turned 40). I'm also having an extensive tummy tuck on 10/30 that will include an overnight stay at the hospital. The surgeon suggested I do the procedures separately because it would be add a lot more to the surgical cost to do the chin at the hospital than it would to just do it at his office. I am so nervous!

Just had my preop appointment. Today's appt was just supposed to be preop for my chin liposuction, but the decided to do my chin on Oct 2nd at the same time as my tummy tuck instead of in two separate procedures. Had to get my pictures taken in a pair of awful disposable panties that barely covered anything. That wasn't embarrassing , but the nurse was super nice and we were laughing and talking about other things. Dr gave me all my prescriptions (pain meds, antibiotics) and told me to start taking a multivitamin, B complex vitamin, vitamin C, and Calcium. He said that would promote healing and lessen bruising. He explained the entire procedure very thoroughly. Originally he wasnt going to do liposuction, but now he has decided to do some on the sides. Only 3 1/2 more weeks! I'm ready! It definitely feels more real now after today's appointment (and payment!!).

Congratulations! I had my chin liposuction on 9/19 so I feel your pain (literally). Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Yay! Someone else who is having this done! How are you feeling? I hope you also have a speedy recovery :)

A little tip for you. The compression garment can get pretty uncomfortable, but you don't want to risk results. I have been alternating between using my compression garment and soft cloth headbands (yoga bands) and sometimes using both. Also, this might sound weird - but a non-scented, natural pantiliner stuck to the inside of the head band or compression garment will absorb any drainage. Definitely get yourself some soft cloth headbands - you will be happy you did a couple days into recovery.

Ooh...good idea thanks! I'm 9 days post op and just starting to try massaging as my tenderness subsides. The strap actually feels secure and snug for me I don't mind it but this gives me more ideas for snug contouring thanx. Hey you guys, visit my page I don't have any activity on their yet. I had Chin, neck, and jowl lipo Jan 10th, 2013. Planning a rhinoplasty next.

I am actually feeling great. There was little pain, for me a lot of bruising but I bruise easily. The results are amazing and I am just a couple of days post-op. The chin strap is uncomfortable, but a small price to pay to see your chin and jawline again. I wish you the best and hope you are just as pleased as I am.

Thank you so much. I'm so nervous about it. I think I'm more nervous about my chin than the tummy tuck I'm getting at the same time. I can't cover any issues that might happen with my chin! I can cover my stomach.

I understand. I had my upper arms liposuctioned at the same time and that is much harder as far as recovery goes. But I can throw on a jacket and it is covered. I was nervous too, but excited and confident in my surgeon. You will do great!
