Had smart lipo performed on my neck about 10 days ago and feel this may have made my problem worse.
im 30 female 5,8 and 125lbs but have lost 5lbs since procedure. i've always been thin but gained weight during covid and had some loose skin that was bothering me when i lost the weight so thought smart lipo would help tighten it. Dr told me since its skin and not fat it could improve 30% but no major difference. i thought any improvement would be good and seemed better compared to getting a neck lift which i didn't feel i needed
i wore the garment 3 days straight and wear it most if the day and sleep in it. Had some swelling on day 4 but by day day 6 seemed to go down and my skin was tight no more double chin! but since then i feel i have more loose skin my face looks weird. i had a weak chin and small facial features to begin with and i feel any definition i had is now completely gone even when i look straight forward no jawline it's like my jaw melts into my neck and i want to cry. i know this isn't the final result and it takes time but i really don't want it to get worse i am afraid every day this will get worse And i know i have to wait but am already considering getting a chin implant or facial fat transfer to chin jaw to add more definition and balance once im heeled if this doesn't improve.
is this norma? will it get better? I feel he overtreated you can see where he marked it was literally my whole neck and im no surgeon but it just didn't seem right to me. Where should i go from here? Any advice is appreciate? Not interested in fillers. Thank you
