No Change After 12 Months - Permanent Nerve Damage

It looks like I never even had the procedure. No changes in weight, and I did everything as prescribed. When I went in for a follow-up over the summer they agreed to do the procedure again because they also agreed that there were no changes in the appearance of my double-chin. They were going to do it at no cost, but said I would have to pay for anesthesia OOP for $500+/- or could just talk a Valium. I scheduled then backed out after a family emergency, which gave me more time to think about if I wanted to go through it again and risk even more permanent nerve damage (my bottom lip is shot and my smile is ruined) and have to go get my neck essentially shanked on nothing more than Valium. I was very disappointed they didn't offer to do the full procedure at no cost. Because of that and the risk of further damage, I've opted to not get the revision.

Still have a little bit of swelling, so I'm trying not to get discouraged. I healed really well and was told that at about 3 months is when I should be 80% of the way to my final results. Knowing that made me feel much better!
My biggest issue thus far is that I seem to have suffered some nerve damage that impairs my speaking and ability to open my mouth as wide as I could before. Talking is uncomfortable (even painful after a long day) and I have to use my tongue to push my bottom lip out in order to bite into just about anything. I was told this could take up to 6 months to resolve. I wish I had known about this risk prior to, but it likely wouldn't have swayed me TBH. It's just irritating.
Will update again in a few weeks!

I recently decided to get neck lipo after realizing that it’s 100% a genetic issue in my family on both sides and no amount of weight loss would help me. I weighed 135 at one time in my life and still had a few extra chins to spare lol.
Anyways, I had previously had work done in 2016 at Sweetgrass and was blown away by the treatment I received before, during, and after the procedure so I didn’t even shop around when I booked this procedure. As expected, the team didn’t disappoint. Everyone was wonderful. My only “complaint” is that I didn’t have an actual consultation with Dr. Schimpf before the morning of, I assume since it was such a simple procedure. I am excited to see the results as they even out, but so far (after 30ish hours) it’s looking good!
