Hi guys, I had jaw shaving and lipo on the lower part of my face and neck. I'm about 5 weeks post op right now. The lower part of my face is still swollen, it makes my face look like a U shape instead of a V shape. My surgeon now tells me it might take 3 months or longer for the swelling to completely go down. But before the surgery, he told me it takes only about 4-6 weeks. I've been really depressed and worried about the swelling and the final result, I'm wondering if some people have swelling that never goes down for the rest of their life? :(
