Chin surgery
Post-operative chin and neck recovery requires specialized facial lymphatic drainage techniques. Swelling in the submental area can be persistent and visible, making professional drainage critical for faster results. Our protocol activates cervical and submandibular lymph nodes to efficiently clear fluid while protecting delicate facial tissues.
