This is just the best information available on post op care. Incredible. I just got face lipo and the swelling isn't going away. But these tips definately seem like they are the answer...thank you so much for this info..
I just had my procedure yesterday but I watched your video a couple months ago, along with other videos, I found yours very informative and much more helpful than the others. I was catching myself clearing my throat a lot (felt like a frog was stuck) and after following your techniques I immediately felt some relief. I will continue with your regimen daily. Thank you very much for taking your time creating this video. It is so appreciated!!
Great video. I had chin lipo done two weeks ago and I’ve already seen an improvement in my healing from following your techniques. Thank you for the informative video!
@@sv0726 same. Got it on the same day as you. Doctor told me i could stay away from the garment after 6 days, i wear it anyway. But now i have two hard swollen rolls on my neck 😩 how is yours going?
@@LaUra-nf3fd Hey there sorry I'm just now responding, I started to bet lymphatic massages so far I've had 3 and they have helped a lot. Also staying away from salty food. Hope your doing better, also try icing it and gently stretch out your neck, and self massage.
Hey Santi Vargas. I have a hard knot under my chin after neck lipo almost two weeks ago. I see you’re 3 months out now. Did you do these massage techniques and did your knots go away?
I just had my lipo 18 days ago. No instructions How to massage, just to do it after 2 weeks of operation. Great video, thank you! ☺️ Greetings from Finland 🌺☀️
This video is extremely helpful! I'm a month post-op and been doing everything according to my plastic surgeon (lymphatic massage therapy, self-massaging between sessions, compression garment for 2 weeks straight and now only at night) but have had a lot of scar tissue/ fibrosis and still feel swelling under my chin. I'm going to see about using the foam and cupping tool. Thank you!
@@exosport1008 Yes, I have used it a couple times. I think I have liked the extra foam when I'm using my compression garment best though. I have seen improvement, it's just taking time. Hope it works for you :)
I’m 3 months post op full facelift neck lift and fat removed from the neck. The swelling went away I didn’t have any lumps or bumps. Everything perfect except in the morning my neck is stiff under my chin? Will this disappear on its own or do I need to get massages? I’ve been putting Vaseline on my neck at night and stroking toward either side as shown here. I never do this on dry skin. This is the best video I have seen on this topic 😊
I'm so sorry you never were able to get professional massages after such an important surgery. Do you have the ability and resources to get this type of postoperative care?
@@StressReductionForLymphedema yes. I’m wondering if you know of anyone in Orange County? After watching your videos I can see it all massage therapists are created equally 😊
I had my underchin done 1 month ago and after 3 days i had fibroses all over my neck and chin. But i went to see a massage therapist and now i only have very little. it is clearing. Also with your advice i do it everyday at home and once a week at the massage therapist. Also i am still wear my garment with lipo foam every night when going to sleep all of this helped a lot. finally i am seeing the result because after 1 month it is still a bit swollen and very sensitive. It is advisable to do 10 massages at least with the massage therapist. My plastic surgeon told me to get the massages. Thanx a lot.
I am 6 weeks post op and only got my massages twice due to unrelated medical issues that kept me from getting my massages . Now that I’m better I’m wondering if it’s too late to start getting my massages. I don’t look as “snatched” as I would like to, but I definitely see the difference. I know it takes a few months to see results but I’ve seen women with great results so fast. I’m getting discouraged 😢
How frequently should I do this? I’m 1 month post op. You are a life saver. I’ve been so scared of doing this on my own. I took a before and after picture and the difference is huge! God bless you!
I had this procedure a month ago. In starting I only had little swelling and defined chin but after a while I have little chin again like I had before not exactly like before but seems like its back. its been a month and Im very upset Even though i wore compression garment 23 hours for like 10 days and then conitnued for 8-10 hours for a month. I did my massages as well im still doing them
Thank you I am having a lot of worries Its worse than When I went in, so depressed, my smile is lopsided, about to chew my right side lip off when I eat, i was always so happy, now I am defeated and broken..i had it done in va My entire bite is off..Im so scared..
I had mine done 3 days ago and this massage made a huge difference and reduced my discomfort instantly. How long do you recommend self massage be performed and how many times per day?
@@angeliqueflemming4501 If you feel like you need harder massage, please book a professional massage and the therapist can show you massage technique customized to your situation.
Got mine done in Mexico after the procedure immediately They gave me massage. My pricing came with 10 ultrasound and hand massages included. Massages is a very important part after this type of Lipo
Hey ! How many days after did you take your wrap off to start massaging? I’m on day two and I feel like it is painful to the touch? So massaging sounds really painful and scary? Haha
Im confused as to how the foam works? Is it to add extra pressure and compression eith the garment over it? Or is it for comfort only? What does it do?
Thanks for sharing. When to start messaging post op? and for how long each time? I do not have the form that you mentioned, can I just use the pressure garment? Doctor prescribed me a bruise and swell cream, can I use that to massage?
Hi Kathleen! TY for this super informative video! Do you have any creative ideas as to making this piece of foam at home? Do you think even a doubled up Dr. Scholl’s foot pad (for sneakers) could work? Would Dollerama have any options, I wonder? TY so much! :)
@@KathleenHelenLisson HI sweetie, last week I received some Lipo Foam from amazon and it’s definitely doing the trick. -I cut a piece to put under my chin strap in the evenings, but I do take the foam out before bed & sleep with the chin strap on. I also put foam against an undershirt near my tummy tuck revision scar. I’m feeling very good that I had found that medical grade foam on amazon! Whew! 😂
Hello ma'am, I am 13 days post chin-lipo. I was told to wear garment for at least 2 weeks and I was also told to not massage at all to allow the skin to reattach. What are your thoughts on this? I do feel a hardened 1 inch area under the chin nearing the start of my throat. When can I start gently massaging it? I'm 33 yrs for reference with good skin I believe.
Hello! Just saw this and gonna start doing everything you mentioned. However, my massage therapist said no vibration for lymphatic drainage, specially to sensitive areas like the chin and I did start to develop the putty like lumps after using the vibrating GuaSha at 1 week post op. Now I am 3 weeks po and have been without the chin garment from day 5 po until day 13 po because the dr said I can stop wearing it. It turned out to be a mistake. When I don’t wear the garment I get bigger lumps. So my question would be is the vibrating tool GuaSha ok or not for self massage? Or not so soon? 🧐
If you have a well educated massage therapist that you trust, please do exactly what she says. I am not sure what vibrating GuaSha is. Did your surgeon recommend you use vibrating Gua Sha?
Hi, just came across this video. Extremely helpful. I’m 1 month post op with chin lipo and have bad fibrosis. I massage it but still a lot of swelling. What type of foam do you recommend I buy to cut and make my chin shape out of?
Do you have any tips on how to care for a tummy tuck regarding contour? When to use foams, boards, fajas? I’m 6 days post op tummy tuck right now I’m wearing a compression garment that Velcro’s all the way around my abdomen.
Hi Kathleen, thanks for making this video. I found the massage really helpful. However, I got bruise on my chin (just a small area). I think I did the cupping for too long without noticing the change in my skin tone. Should I be concerned? Can there be any long term complications due to this? Thanks!
I had chin lipo plus buccal fat reduction 3 days ago and my whole face has swollen up like a balloon even with wearing my compression constantly. Really hoping this massage will help as I look insane
Is it too late after a month post op? My swelling went down a lil and now I have a big bump looks like fibrosis on my left side and small one on my right side of my neck I had neck contour.
do you recommend getting radiofrequency treatment as well? my doctor from mexico recommended it and that i should have started 2 weeks ago but i just saw a video of a girl saying these type of self massages are preferred and no frequency massages
Hi! I’m a little over a month post op with chin lipo and implant. I’m just starting self massaging as my surgeon told me to not massage with the implant. I formed significant cording and fibrotic issue under the chin that I’m hoping will heal with these techniques 😫 but this does NOT feel good at all. I have a burning sensation on my skin when I touch. Is this normal???
Hi Kathleen, I’m 1.5 weeks post op and I have some red bumps/bruises all over under chin and neck. What do you suggest? I’ve been taking Arnica pills, using arnica gel and arnica cream, but it’s now pretty dry. Also do you recommend any particular compression garment?
How tight is a chin compression garmet supposed to be? To me, mines loose compared to my faja. My surgeon said it's supposed to just guide the swelling but I feel like it's loose.
How fast can we start doing this massages ? I’m about 4 days post op and not sure if I can start this also do you recommend radio frequency for the chin?
I just had chin and jowls and neck I started day 6 I was to sore so I waited a few days and try again it get better each time I'm 3 weeks post op with some swelling still and numbness but I hope get the lumps out
Can these techniques all be used after having FaceTite and lipo of the submental area? And, if so, how often should it be done? I am 16 days post procedure now.
This is a great video. I already do most of this myself but some of these are some great tips. I find adding compression actually causes me more swelling. My dr wanted me to use compression for 3 months. I even tried using lipo foam because I have two spots on my neck that look like “grandma” neck now and thought it was compression adding the wrinkling. I do massages a couple times a day, specially because by my neck “bands” it burns/stings so trying to help desensitize that area.
Where is that grey foam from? Is it hypoallergenic? The white foam gave me a bad reaction. I tried taping it with athletic tape and it still gave a reaction.
Thanks for this great video! It has been 10 days since I got chin lipo and fibrosis started forming in the last couple of days. Doing this massage helps and I feel like it started breaking down already. How early can we start cupping? I am 30 and I feel like I'm healing very fast and I don't seem to have an issue with skin elasticity.
also my doctor did not tell me about fibrosis, lipo foam or cupping so thank you for informing me. I feel like he just performed the procedure, got paid and abandoned me later.
I had chin liposuction a year ago, unfortunately I wasn't instructed on post op care, my skin is really lose since then. My surgeon told me that I have good skin and will get better on time, but it didn't. Actually now, I feel I look older for all this lose skin. Do you have any advice for a case like mine? Thank you so much in advance!
I’m now 9 days post op and at the one week follow up my surgeon told me to start massage and that any tightness or hard patches would soften over time. I trust him completely but I’m still super worried that the hardness will be permanent. In your experience is this normal? And if so will it in fact get better over time with massage and continued use of my compression garment?
@@Tay0Co you will not get fibroids from liposuction. If you are worried about fibrosis, please book an appointment with a postop massage therapist and they will give you tips on self-care in between visits.
Same with mine! Did you end up getting fibrosis? Did you end up self massaging? For some reason I’m so scared of fibrosis, I’m 12 days post op and haven’t massaged at all.
@@ashleighdubie4250 ok so I sent to a post op massage place that was massaging me SO hard. Then I went to get a facial one day and my facialist was like “she’s doing it wrong, a lymph massage should not be hard, especially on your face. Plus, it it clearly not making a different. I’ll show you the right way and you’re gonna see a huge different after the facial”. So she gave me a correct lymphatic massage, which is extremely gentle and just moves fluid. And my face looked so thin after. So I regularly went to her, and then learned to do it for myself (you can search on RUclips lymphatic facial massage, or facial lymphatic Gua sha massage) and do that. It’s very gentle, and I don’t have fibroids
Hi! I am 2 weeks post op from chin lipo and I Was wondering if the massage wont let the skin thighten up? Could the massage prevent the skin to adhere again and therefore to stay loose? Thanks!
I had a Lipo chin 3 weeks ago and I feel a lump that moves what should I do? Can I continue cupping? Or is anything else that I can do? Tx in advance ! God bless you all!
Hi,I have fibrosis under my chin after chin lipo, I’m almost one month and the fibrosis is hard and lumpy,I started doing massage after3 days after the lipo but I’m not wearing my garments at all. What should I do? I’m from Iraq and I can’t order the cupping tool What can I use instead?
Where are you located ? I developed two water like lumps under my chin after the lipo to my chin can i send you a pic or video so you can help me please ??? I have no idea where to go to get it looked at.
I had lipo in the jowl area yesterday. I saw a video saying to wait a week before starting massaging. What’s your recommendation? How do you massage the jowl area?
One week post chin lipo and my chin is stone hard! I'm also still pretty swollen and sore. Hope this can help me. I'm kind of afraid that this will be the finished result
@@ggukieo Much much better. Little over 4 weeks post-op. I'm still a bit swollen and sore and I have a few hard hard lumps around my incisions still but much, much better and the result is amazing.
@@MettePeleikis I'm happy for you!! It's going to get even better too. I'm a week po, I'm sore and swollen. I have fibrosis under my chin as well, I just purchased some lipo foam and arnica gel for the stiffness and swelling and its helped already. I'm excited for the next few weeks.
I do not leave the cups on at all. If you'd like more advice, please book a session with a lymphatic massage therapist in your area for personalized recommendations.
I had a chin lipo almost 45 days ago and I have fribrosis. The doctor blames me for ut, saying I did not follow her instructions correctly, which is not true. I feel so hopeless 😔

@@KathleenHelenLisson unfortunately I don’t live in San Diego. Otherwise, I’d book a massage asap 😁
QUESTION: How soon can this technique be used for women who have had a facelift/necklift and neck liposuction?
Please take my facelift class the link is here plasticsurgeryrecoverymassage.teachable.com/p/home
How fast can we start doing this massages ? I’m about 4 days post op and not sure if I can start this also do you recommend radio frequency for the chin?
I just had chin and jowls and neck I started day 6 I was to sore so I waited a few days and try again it get better each time I'm 3 weeks post op with some swelling still and numbness but I hope get the lumps out
Can these techniques all be used after having FaceTite and lipo of the submental area? And, if so, how often should it be done? I am 16 days post procedure now.
Please ask your surgeon directly. I wouldn't use the cupping so soon after surgery
This is a great video. I already do most of this myself but some of these are some great tips. I find adding compression actually causes me more swelling. My dr wanted me to use compression for 3 months. I even tried using lipo foam because I have two spots on my neck that look like “grandma” neck now and thought it was compression adding the wrinkling. I do massages a couple times a day, specially because by my neck “bands” it burns/stings so trying to help desensitize that area.
You're welcome!
Do you have a surgeon you recommend for a chin reduction? It’s very prominent and i live in Texas and can’t find one.
No, I am sorry.
I had mine done with Dr Martin Castillo in Matamores, Mexico. Check his facebook page out Castillo Dolls. I Love, Love my results. 🥰
Where is that grey foam from? Is it hypoallergenic? The white foam gave me a bad reaction. I tried taping it with athletic tape and it still gave a reaction.
Don’t put it next to your skin.
What do you put between the foam and skin?
I’m one month pos but now I have hard bump like under my chin and side of chin, I get massage but it’s still looking hard and swollen
I'm so sorry.
Thanks for this great video! It has been 10 days since I got chin lipo and fibrosis started forming in the last couple of days. Doing this massage helps and I feel like it started breaking down already. How early can we start cupping? I am 30 and I feel like I'm healing very fast and I don't seem to have an issue with skin elasticity.
also my doctor did not tell me about fibrosis, lipo foam or cupping so thank you for informing me. I feel like he just performed the procedure, got paid and abandoned me later.
Please get a professional lymphatic massage
Can I do these massages with my compression garnet on?
I guess you could try but I never do.
It’s still so sore but I’ve been gently massaging the areas only to the point that I can handle
This was great thank you! How quickly post op should you do this if you start to feel fibrosis early?
You can always book a session with a lymphatic massage therapist if you have questions!
I had chin liposuction a year ago, unfortunately I wasn't instructed on post op care, my skin is really lose since then. My surgeon told me that I have good skin and will get better on time, but it didn't. Actually now, I feel I look older for all this lose skin. Do you have any advice for a case like mine? Thank you so much in advance!
I'm so sorry. I would have advice if you were one month out versus one year ago.
It’s been three weeks since my Lipo and there is like hard long under my chin. Does this massage help with it!!
You can try it in between your visits for postop massage therapy
Does chin lipo have to be drained? Like when they do lipo 360? Or do you just message?
You never have to be drained outside of the OR for any plastic surgery
Hello. It’s been for me 5 months can i still do this and notice results? If so, for how
Long? Thanks
I’m not sure. You can also book a session with a professional. Good luck!
I’m now 9 days post op and at the one week follow up my surgeon told me to start massage and that any tightness or hard patches would soften over time. I trust him completely but I’m still super worried that the hardness will be permanent. In your experience is this normal? And if so will it in fact get better over time with massage and continued use of my compression garment?
It’s up to the quality of the therapist you have hired.
Thank you for this! My doctor said no need for massaging 🙄. How long a day do you suggest massaging each day?
If your doctor told you not to massage, please follow their instructions.
@@KathleenHelenLisson he said I could if I wanted but “not needed”. I don’t want to just let fibroids happen and not get the results 🤷🏻♀️
@@Tay0Co you will not get fibroids from liposuction. If you are worried about fibrosis, please book an appointment with a postop massage therapist and they will give you tips on self-care in between visits.
Same with mine! Did you end up getting fibrosis? Did you end up self massaging? For some reason I’m so scared of fibrosis, I’m 12 days post op and haven’t massaged at all.
@@ashleighdubie4250 ok so I sent to a post op massage place that was massaging me SO hard. Then I went to get a facial one day and my facialist was like “she’s doing it wrong, a lymph massage should not be hard, especially on your face. Plus, it it clearly not making a different. I’ll show you the right way and you’re gonna see a huge different after the facial”.
So she gave me a correct lymphatic massage, which is extremely gentle and just moves fluid. And my face looked so thin after. So I regularly went to her, and then learned to do it for myself (you can search on RUclips lymphatic facial massage, or facial lymphatic Gua sha massage) and do that. It’s very gentle, and I don’t have fibroids
Is it necessary to get a lymphatic massage after chin lipo or is it as effective doing it yourself?
If you got lipo in several areas of the body, have your therapist do lymphatic massage on your chin as well
Hi! I am 2 weeks post op from chin lipo and I Was wondering if the massage wont let the skin thighten up? Could the massage prevent the skin to adhere again and therefore to stay loose? Thanks!
If you are worried please speak with your plastic surgeon. Most surgeon advise massage after liposuction.
كلش حلووو وبي نتيجه
I had a Lipo chin 3 weeks ago and I feel a lump that moves what should I do? Can I continue cupping? Or is anything else that I can do? Tx in advance ! God bless you all!

Ask your surgeon when it’s safe to self massage

You need to contact your plastic surgeon directly or your primary care physician
I had lipo in the jowl area yesterday. I saw a video saying to wait a week before starting massaging. What’s your recommendation?
How do you massage the jowl area?
Ask your surgeon - it should be in your postoperative paperwork
You can book a session with a lymphatic massage therapist and they will show you how to self massage in between appointments
How's it going I had mine a few days ago
Im having chin lipo & bichectomy can i use these steps also?
Please send this video to your surgeon and ask them directly.
One week post chin lipo and my chin is stone hard! I'm also still pretty swollen and sore. Hope this can help me. I'm kind of afraid that this will be the finished result
Best of Luck
What's the update now, are you any better?
@@ggukieo Much much better. Little over 4 weeks post-op. I'm still a bit swollen and sore and I have a few hard hard lumps around my incisions still but much, much better and the result is amazing.
@@MettePeleikis I'm happy for you!! It's going to get even better too. I'm a week po, I'm sore and swollen. I have fibrosis under my chin as well, I just purchased some lipo foam and arnica gel for the stiffness and swelling and its helped already. I'm excited for the next few weeks.
@@MettePeleikis Does the lump gone? Cause i had chin lipo 11 dyas ago and developed hard firm area like lumps
I had a double chin lipo before 1 month and there is a solid masses such as fibrosis ! What can i do?? The massage does-not work and it hurts😢
Oh no! Please ask your plastic surgeon directly
Hi. About how long do you leave the cups on the under chin area? Do you move around fast?
I do not leave the cups on at all. If you'd like more advice, please book a session with a lymphatic massage therapist in your area for personalized recommendations.
I had a chin lipo almost 45 days ago and I have fribrosis. The doctor blames me for ut, saying I did not follow her instructions correctly, which is not true. I feel so hopeless 😔
I'm so sorry.
This helped so much than paying someone to do this $100 per session.
Can i use face glass cups instead of the plastic one u have ?
Yes!
@@KathleenHelenLisson would you recommend getting a lymphatic drainage massage the day of surgery or the after surgery ? (I’m getting chin lipo on Monday)
@@gizzelyeah I don't see clients that soon. Please ask your surgeon directly.
I’m three days post op chin lipo can I start using the foam already?
that's what I would do. Please ask your plastic surgeon.
@@KathleenHelenLisson thank you(:
How soon can I start them
As soon as your plastic surgeon allows!
Hi, do you know where I can buy a cupping tool? I want to make sure I get a legitimate one.
My list of tools including facial cups are here: kit.co/KathleenLisson/fibrosis-recovery-box
Very helpful
Thanks
How can we get foam like yours?

Where can I get the chin foam from?
Your Lymphatic massage therapist choose one that is a Certified Lymphedema Therapist
