Question:
I've heard that during neck liposuction, the incision is sometimes made in the mouth. If this is done, will I have to be cautious about what I eat after neck liposuction? If so, how long? Answer:
I have always used an external incision under the chin for neck liposuction. The resulting scar is often hard to find, once healed. I do not see any benefit in making an intraoral incision. Nevertheless, I ask my patients refrain from vigorous chewing for one week to limit movement beneath the chin. Posted by William E. O'Mara Jr., M.D. |
