It has been 11 weeks since I had chin lipo. During the first 2 weeks, I wore the compression garment 24/7, and then about 15 hours a day for the next 3 weeks. I also started doing 45-minute deep tissue massages at the 2-week mark. While the scar tissue has improved, I still have a deep ridge that isn't getting better.
Based on the two images you provided, it appears that the liposuction may have been performed on the double chin area without attention to the rest of the neck. A revision procedure that excludes the region already suctioned and focuses on the jawline and further down the neck is likely to improve your outcome. I suggest discussing this idea with the board-certified plastic surgeon who performed the initial procedure. They would want you to be happy and would be glad to have the opportunity to improve your outcome. Good luck!
Chin liposuction is typically recommended for individuals who have isolated submental (under the chin) fullness without significant skin or muscle laxity. While chin liposuction can help contour the neck, it may take up to three months for the skin to fully soften. It is important to note that liposuction, regardless of the technology usedes not tighten the skin. If there are irregularities or excess skin after three to six months, it is advisable to discuss options with your plastic surgeon, such as a neck lift for tightening.
After 3 months, you are approaching the final result of chin liposuction. The outcome depends on the procedure performed, individual anatomy, candidacy for isolated liposuction, and postoperative care. It is recommended to follow up with your surgeon to discuss your concerns.
