Final Post-op Appointment
WORTH IT
It has been 11 months to the day since my surgery. Here are my before and after pictures. Though you'd never know it from looking at the pictures, I actually weigh about 5lbs more now than I did before the surgery.

Hi there, I am getting serious about neck white bow and just came across your review today. I was wondering how your range of motion is now, 10 months later, and if it's back to normal, when did you first started feeling normal?
Not "white bow". Ugh spellcheck. Lipo.
Yes, I regained full range of motion after about 5 weeks. There was some partial numbness from inflammation for about 3 months, but that didn't bother me or affect movement in any way.
I'm 5 weeks out and feel like the day after surgery my double chin was gone and now it's back. I have lumps and where the incision is too. How long did yours take to go away and did you feel like your chin was back too?? The day after surgery it was gone which is what I keep reading to go by and just wait but the waiting is killing me!!
I am in the same boat! I feel I look worse than I did before the procedure. Are you happy you had it done and how long did it take for the swelling to go away completely?
I have had Lipo on other body parts (not the chin) but I do know this: 1. Wear your compression garment religiously 2. You won't see the "beautiful BIG change until about 6 months out". Then it's amazing.

New Pictures
These were taken today, except for the one with my hair down, which was taken a couple of days ago. I'm still lumpy, but no one would notice if I didn't point it out. I do put a touch of makeup on the scar under my chin because it shows a little due to the swelling I still have in that area.

Looking great and it's only been a month. So happy for you
Looks great. I had mine done 6 days ago & the swelling came on pretty badly on the evening of day 4. Day 5 was yesterday & still pretty bad. Haven't checked this morning yet but I don't see any results immediately. My lower neck looks like a bullfrog! Did you experience the same?
Yep! I had lots of swelling right under my chin. It was really hard, so I knew it was just inflamed tissue and not fat.
I can't see the lumpiness at all in the pics- I think you look great!
