hi...you have done liposuction 4 weeks ago..sometime after liposuction there is blood accumulation(haematoma or seroma) formation in the dead space created by liposuction..usually this is resolved in a week or two..in your case i would recommend to do ultrasound of that area..ultrasound is a very much safe investigation you can do it...there is no problem in doing ultrasound of chin and neck...thanks
