Re: FOR ANYONE WHO HAS HAD GENIOPLASTY PLEASE READ THANKYOU

[Guest guest]

I had genio in combination with upper/lower surgery. Surgery was on

Tuesday morning, and I was allowed to take the chin bandage off

Friday morning. I didn't have much bruising, mostly under the eyes

and on the side of my neck. You can get special makeup at any

cosmetics counter for that - ask for the stuff people use to cover up

tattoos.

I don't recall having much swelling there either - it was mostly my

lips and the rest of my face. The chin had surprisingly little

swelling. I've got some pictures on site 2 over the first 9 days or

so that will give you a good idea.

The appearance change was noticeable, but then, I had a lot done.

People who knew me said they wouldn't have recognized me on the

street. That can come in handy sometimes, let me tell you!

Hi Jeff,

My bandage covered most of my chin and it was really tight. The

reason for it was to keep pressure on the area to prevent edema

(swelling & fluids) which could cause injury to the soft tissues

(which were already traumatized by the surgery).. that's kind of how

it was explained to me. Maybe someone else can explain it better.
