You may be advised to have someone escort you to your neck liposuction procedure so you do not have to drive yourself home. When your minor surgery is complete, the team may apply a gentle compression garment around the chin and head. You may be advised to wear this garment at least several hours a day for approximately one week after your procedure. Compression helps resolve swelling and bruising more quickly and can also help you remain more comfortable post-surgery.
While recovering from neck liposuction, you may benefit from:
Sleeping in a reclined position
Placing a cold compress on the surgical area for 10 to 20 minutes at a time
Refrain from bending over
Avoid strenuous physical activity
Take prescription or approved over-the-counter medication as directed
