NECK & UNDER CHIN · ILLUSTRATED 3D RECOVERY
Chin Liposuction: before & after and recovery stages
See under-chin swelling give way to the illustrated reduction in local volume.
Also called double chin liposuction · neck liposuction
SUMMARY
What this example shows
A fixed fictional pad beneath the chin provides the reference. Part of that same fullness is removed immediately beneath temporary surgical swelling, which settles later. Some starting fullness remains. The chin bone and wider neck stay fixed; fat volume, skin retraction and muscle repair are not calculated.
STAGE BY STAGE
Chin Liposuction recovery stages
Before treatment
The same fictional under-chin fullness stays beneath every stage. The chin bone and wider neck remain fixed.
First few days: Swelling hides reduction
The area beneath the chin looks full despite the smaller underlying contour.
Liposuction removes fat; a neck lift addresses other tissues.
Around 1 week: Early settling
The temporary fullness starts to recede in the example.
Compression and wound care depend on the treating team's plan.
Around 1 month: Profile easier to see
A smaller under-chin contour is clearer.
Residual swelling can affect the apparent result.
Around 3 months: Later comparison
The model shows less fullness directly below the chin.
The illustration does not predict skin retraction or the need for another procedure.
TIMELINE
Day-by-day checkpoints in the 3D model
The simulator interpolates between these authored checkpoints. They describe the illustration, not measured clinical averages.
The same fictional under-chin fullness stays beneath every stage. The chin bone and wider neck remain fixed.
Early fullness overlaps the illustrated fat reduction.
The treated area remains full and discolored.
Some temporary fullness and bruising remain.
The smaller contour is more visible as the early response fades.
The outline is clearer, with some residual fullness.
This is not a prediction of skin tightening or an activity clearance.
INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
How recovery can vary
Timing and response
Fat distribution and skin elasticity vary. The chin bone and broader neck skin are not lifted by this example.
Longer term
Later contour depends on the starting tissues and healing. The final frame is a comparison point, not an assessment of your outcome.
EVIDENCE NOTES
Sources and limitations
- Cleveland Clinic: Double chin surgery
Different roles of liposuction, a chin tuck and a neck lift.
- ASPS: Liposuction recovery
Temporary swelling and bruising, garments and gradual contour assessment.
