Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Used light compression overnight and swelling is worse
I used light compression as advised by the nurse overnight and my chin is terrible looking. It looks like it did before surgery, if not worse. I am beginning to wonder if something is wrong. They are closed for the weekend so I cannot call and find out. I am feeling very sad...
Here are the images
Forgot to post the compression images. Here's how they look.

Called their team about the results.
I talked with a nurse on my doctor's team. While I know it's a little early, I showed her the current results and that I was a bit disappointed. She said she showed the image to her office and they all agreed they see a difference. But it's really not that drastic as promised. She said it could still be swelling and to try an ace bandage compression. She said if the results are not what I am looking for once completely healed, then the doctor can address it at that time.
I tried the compression today for 3 hours and was pleasantly surprised how it seemed to make a difference. You can actually see an angle under my chin again, and a little more of my jawline.
The only downside is that it caused the incision under my chin to leak some fluid, and that surprised me. I thought it was closed up. I think there was swelling, and the incision was the easiest exist for the fluid. I am not sure if this is OK or not.
I will try compression every day for a couple hours and see how that goes.
