SWELLING AFTER CHIN LIPOSUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT

Although liposuction is often considered more “minor” compared to other forms of cosmetic surgery because no skin is removed or pulled, this procedure will require some downtime, regardless of which area is being treated. The type of liposuction you have will affect your recovery, but it is common for swelling to occur within the first couple of weeks, regardless of which type you have. Eventually the swelling goes down, revealing a slimmer and more toned profile.

Swelling occurs after chin liposuction or other forms of liposuction because of fluid retention in the body. The swelling during liposuction recovery is controllable. It typically takes a few weeks for it to disappear, but each patient is different. The swelling will usually be worse if the patient is not very active in terms of moving around. To help reduce side effects and support the body’s healing process, we might recommend an anti-inflammatory diet a few weeks ahead of surgery and continued after surgery as well. Avoid a high salt intake as this can cause the body to soak up and retain water. Applying an ice pack or cold compress to the swollen areas can also help to reduce the swelling and discomfort. Our Burnett Plastic Surgery team will guide you on chin liposuction aftercare to ensure that you achieve the most optimal results.
