Double Chin Liposuction

Recovering after chin liposuction

• Take it easy and sleep on two pillows to keep your head elevated for 7 to 14 days.
• Your neck and lower face will look even more swollen in the first 3 days. Don?t be alarmed. As the days go by the swelling will dissipate.
• There may be bruising, but this will go away, as well. Bruising and swelling are a normal occurrence in most surgeries.
• You will experience some discomfort for several weeks.
• Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly before eating.
• Take your prescribed antibiotics in order to avoid infection.

The following weeks

Even though you may feel better, you must take it easy for the first 3 weeks.

• Don't bend over or lift heavy objects.
• Do not raise the blood pressure for at least 3 weeks as this could cause internal bleeding at your treatment area. Your blood vessels dilate to allow increased blood flow when you raise your heart rate.
• Do not participate in contact sports for at least 6 to 8 weeks.

Your swelling will subside within a few weeks, together with all the odd sensations of hollowness under your chin, tingling, the sporadic sharp pain, or pulling, burning, and cold sensations.
