Chin Liposuction- 39 Years Old

My chin always looks enormous in photos and I...

My chin always looks enormous in photos and I finally got tired of it. I looked into Kybella and was told by multiple providers that I am not a good candidate because of the contour of my chin.
I had consultations with 10 plastic surgeons who all said the same things... chin lipo or possibly a chin/neck lift. I just can't fathom having a facelift at age 39 so I went with chin lipo.
Procedure was uneventful besides awful post-op headache, nausea and vomiting. The dr removed 100 ccs, which seems like an enormous amount compared to what others here report. The surgeon was aggressive. I've had significant bruising and swelling with pain and still at 2.5 weeks out, the tissue is tender and bumpy, with painful cervical node swelling. I'm still taking 1/2 a Lortab every other day or so. I'm not concerned given the tissue trauma that occurs during lipo.
I've been obsessive about the compression, and finally today have taken it off for a while hoping to give the sore tissue a break. Overall I'm pleased with the results. I put in a before and after pic. I may have some "jowls" that have appeared and will need something in the future.

hi chinlipo. I just looked up your profile/review. like you,i had a little lipo under my chin and I believe it eventually lead to me wanting the lower face/necklift. if you look at my photos you can see that loose skin. it was supposed to tighten and contract, but it didn't last long (a few years) and here is where I am at now. how are you doing now?

Hi- so I do suspect a lift is in my future. The surgeon commented that my neck is quite long and that anything I do for my neck will be “challenging”. My issue now is the jowls that have appeared after the lipo. They were hidden before. I am definitely going to figure out what to do for that. Yes, aging, what fun it is so far.

The lumpiness and pain is still there. I’m still doing compression much of the time.... and I’m traveling for 10 days over the next few weeks and a little nervous that I won’t be doing compression during the day (no way am I wearing that thing around family).

...well, that and the lovely crepy skin in the middle of my neck lead me to the neck lift. isn't getting older so much fun ? NOT!

ya, I think chin lipo is a slippery slope. it really depends on a number of factors. in my opinion, I think it is probably best for younger patients (ie. 20's) with hereditary chin issues. I'm sorry you are having issues. don't give up hope just yet. try to stay away from sodium on your trip and good luck!

3 weeks out, looks good from the side, still lumpy and painful
ChinlipoAZDecember 14, 2017
I am still very sore and tender. Some swelling persists.The area feels lumpy, and I ventured to take a photo of my chin from underneath. Yikes. Look at that! I'm glad people don't look at me from that angle.
I am to the point that I can massage without crying, so that should help that lumpiness. I did expect less pain at 3 weeks post op and am going to contact my surgeon tomorrow (although I doubt anything can be done about it. I just need to heal.)

Did the lumps & pain go away yet?

Did your lumps ever go away. I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for mine to go away
