I am 16 days post op and it looks like i swallowed a tennis ball. my chin looks 4 times worse than before the procedure. Did this happen to anyone before? i dont even want to leave my house. Doc says it takes time for swelling to go down< I noticed most people saw results within a few days. im panicking. Anyone have tips or suggestions?

I'm 21 days post and I'm still very swollen ..I live in a hot climate so that isn't helping. I think it takes 3 months for total swelling to go down. Make sure you are doing lymphatic drainage massages and not eating inflammatory foods. Etc sugar, nightshades

I was never advised about lymphatic drainage massages, but makes sense and as for none inflammatory foods great tip.
Did you face feel kind of warm and flushed at anytime.
Thank you

Warmth is part of the healing process, its an inflammatory response. It'll pass

I am going to chime I had my Chin Lipo Nov 17th so 4 days ago. How are you feeling now! I feel like I have been strangled and worse than when I went in for the Op.

Has the swelling improved? I had the same procedure done and I am 3 weeks post op and my neck, jaw and chin looks worst than before I had the work done?

I had chin lipo done 13 days ago and my results look the same as before. Did your swelling finally go down? Are you happy with the results?

Yes the swelling went down but i feel the double chin is still there. I hope your results will be better for you as it was for others. The final result is at 6 months. Im 9 months PO..

Smart lipo is such a gimmick, the best way to get the best contour is from tumescent liposuction where the fat cells are physically removed and you actually see it in the canister. I had mine done by Dr. Malik Kutty in Sugar Land and already saw results in 3 days with minimal swelling. I’m at a year now and my results are honestly even better than what I even imagined they would realistically. Look up Luxe Plastic Surgery and watch the videos, he’s truly a great surgeon!
