Hi Sammie,

As the rest have said, if it is lymphedema, look into getting lymphatic drainage massage. My husband Ron had lymphedema under his chin and as it turned out, my facialist knows how to do that type of massage. Ron went several times and it helped tremendously! She even showed me how to massage Ron's neck so that I could help at home. He is 5 months post tx and the lymphedema is almost gone now. We also found that if he slept more propt up and not flat, that helped too. Best of luck.

Take care,

Shelley
