Like all liposuction procedures, face liposuction will usually require a compression garment (especially the under chin area) which should be worn round the clock for at least 1 week following surgery. The compression garment facilitates better skin attachment and minimizes chances of fluid build-up. While the surgery is pretty minor, a certain amount of swelling for the first 2-3 days is to be expected so patients may actually look bigger than before surgery. It will take 1-2 weeks for most of the swelling to subside and at least 2-6 months for the full result to settle.
