I had the procedure done on the 1/19/17 and it was done under local anaesthetic.
The procedure was painless and besides the slight discomfort of the tumescent fluid being pumped into the chin it really wasn't a bad procedure at all and lasted in total of approximately an hour.
The PS said from the beginning there didn't appear to be a lot of fat he could feel and we were hopeful more than anything of getting a result. During the procedure he said he got approximately 25 cc of fat which we were both happy with considering.
I am now day 5 post lipo and seem to be healing ok, here is a summary of my first 5 days
Afternoon of the procedure: slight swelling, no pain and just discomfort of getting use to the chin strap
Day 1: More swelling, chin and neck is probably double the size it normally is, no bruising or pain
Day 2: Slightly more swelling than yesterday, no pain and some bruising coming through
Day 3: Swelling slightly better than yesterday, no pain and more bruising coming through
Day 4: Swelling continuing to slowly improve, still bigger than pre surgery, bruising more prominent
Day 5: Swelling similar to yesterday, bruising improving
The pictures I have posted; first 2 are pre surgery and last 2 are day 5
I am back at work today, I would recommend taking at least a week off, despite what the PS says, and my chin brace is to be worn for 4 days and 7 nights

So I am now 7 days post procedure, here is a summary
- Still swelling and my chin is still bigger than it was pre surgery
- Bruising mostly all gone, I have stopped wearing the compression garment during the day.
- I feel around my jaw there may be some slight improvements however this may be wishful thinking
- I can still feel swelling in there so I am hopeful the end result will be worth it
- Does this progress sound normal?

Thanks for this post. I'm considering having it done but felt that I would def need about a week off.
I sure do hope you post more pics with your progress. Thanks again!

- After shaving the other day I feel my jawline has perhaps a little more definition, other than that not much slimmer.
- Starting to feel some hard lumps and scar tissue under my chin which I am now beginning to massage
- Have posted some progress pics, I am being patient here as I realise it may be a few more weeks until I see some improvements however at this stage its a little disheartening.
