Neck/chin liposuction

I am three months one week postop and feel I am 85% healed. Sensation is coming back every day. I still see some swelling now and again, and I know as the next three to six months pass I will get better and better results.
I am thrilled that I went through with this and with my results. I stopped wearing the compression garment three weeks ago. Now when I go to put it on it’s so uncomfortable I say to myself how the hell did I do this for so long? BUT I am a firm believer that it was using the compression garment as long and as often as I did that helped with my results.
If anybody is reading this and looking to get this done I highly recommend going to a board-certified surgeon and one that has many years specifically with facial surgeries. If you are in the New England area I highly recommend my surgeon he is absolutely amazing, his hands and skills are top notch and I will never go to anybody else going forward should I decide to have any other procedures done in the future. I will continue to update at the six-month mark and the one year mark. I do check this out every now and again so if you have any questions please feel free to send me a direct message or leave a comment.
Best wishes on your journey, God bless.

How in the heck did we get totwo months already? So excited to be able to give an update again and looking forward to the continuation of healing going forward.
I have been slacking when it comes to the compression garment, but after two months I truly feel like it probably isn’t making all that much of a difference. Last week I slept without my garment on, and woke up with no difference. So I continued with only wearing the garment 2 to 3 hours a day and not at night. After days of doing that I noticed that there was definitely some more fullness in my chin from swelling, if I put my garment back on for an hour the swelling disappears. So I’ve gotten into the habit of wearing it for the first few hours of the morning if needed.
Every day gets better and better, there are some days with more swelling, although that seems to happen later in the evening, and if I’ve been super active it will be more swollen.
I still have not gone back to the gym full-time, when I lift heavy weights I can still feel it in my neck so I’m giving myself time and space not to go hard at the gym until three months. That intuitively feels correct for me and my situation.
The only thing I know for sure is that I would’ve done this way sooner. I also have become friendly with a few people on this app and elsewhere that have gone through the same procedure, and although our stories varies some of the symptoms are common across-the-board one of the biggest realizations is that time truly will bring better results. I became friendly with a person who had this done a year ago and she is just now seeing results that don’t fluctuate on a day-to-day basis. That’s a year later folks, keep the faith and know that every body is different and our body knows how to heal.
I’ve attached pictures of two months and will continue to update as the weeks pass. For all of you who have followed my journey or have read it just to gain some insight and knowledge, I want to thank you for being part of this. If you’re considering getting it done do your research, check your doctors credentials, ask for references, and move forward confidently. If you’ve had this done or healing from this I wish you a speedy recovery happy results and renewed confidence. God bless.

Six weeks! I am so happy to be at the six week mark. I just got back from speaking with my surgeon and he is thrilled with the results and gave me such peace of mind. He assured me that the residual lumps, bumps and swelling will for sure continue to get better with time. He also gave me the OK to start working out more strenuously and not wear my garment (I will still wear it at night until I feel comfortable.) I haven’t slept for six weeks without this on so I will be trying to sleep without the garment on in the next few days. I will update when I do that just to see how it goes.
The past week has brought tremendous improvements to the swelling, I am noticing more of a loose profile then I’ve had over the last few weeks but I am chalking that up to not wearing my garment during the day any longer. Four days ago I stopped wearing it during the day and only started wearing it at night. So I can tell the swelling is definitely more apparent... truth be told, even if my results were to never get any better than where they are right now I am beyond thrilled.
Things that have been occurring this late in recovery have been, swelling, harder lumps at the end of the day rather than in the beginning of the day, skin still trying to attach, some looseness and fullness on the side profile more so on my right side of my left side, random pain and zap like feelings as my nerves continue to heal, some tenderness when massaging, still rather numb to the touch under chin.
Now that I’ve hit the six week mark I have made some judgments on my results and they are as follows:
I am happy with my front view and happy with my Sideview, although I’m hoping both will continue to improve and I will get to my results that I had on day two as the swelling and healing continues, I am blown away at how much our body can heal and how miraculous it is, I’m really grateful for my health, my mind made more fearful scenarios then actually happened during the process, i’m so grateful for this app and the people that are using it and have reached out during this journey it brought so much comfort and a sense of connection, I’m 1000% happy that I made the decision to do this, I have learned that every body is different and although we like to compare and have something to judge on it truly is such a individualized process and every body is different, it takes time to see the results which can be very frustrating and disheartening at times.
I will still update this account going forward, but plan on giving a super detailed update at the 3 month mark (which is in another six weeks). In the meantime I will update with pictures and anything that has changed, helped and/or any new symptoms that may occur.
I want to thank everybody who has read this post and wish you well on your journey no matter where you are in the world or in the process. God bless.
