How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

6 month follow up
Well it's been a bit over 6 months and I am very happy I did this! I still get unhappy about my jowls BUT when I look at the "before" photos I know for sure that it's much much better and I am still happy. In fact I can hardly believe how bad I looked from the sides before!! No wonder I hid behind all my neck scarves! I'm still deciding if I should keep some of my scarves [I have at least 60 because I needed to wear them with all colors and in all temperatures, summer or winter] or not-but this time just for fashion reasons and not for hiding behind!
I do think that the doctor did a better job along my one jowl line that the other... I will let you guess as to which-that way I will see i others see the same thing I do. However, that being said, it's still waaaay better than it was. And, actually I unfortunately have gained like 6 pounds [plan on remedying that very soon!] so you would think that the results wouldn't have gotten better. Yet over the course of these past 6 months it has gotten tighter, as others had said it would. So for those of you thinking about this proceedure it's true-it does get better over time.
I still have sort of what I call 'wavienss' under my chin but, again, it's beter than before. I know it doens't look perfectly normal but I'm ok with that. I realize I probably needed a neck lift instead of just lipo but that wouldn't of been do-able for me either cost wise or 'don't-want-anyone-to-know' wise. And to validate the other doctor who I consulted with, he was right on that-I would have benifited more from a neck lift which would have addressed the jowls better. I did what was best for me at the time.
I do think I might look into having lipo along my jowls in the future. I saw one woman who had an entire neck life yet still went back in to have the doctor clean up along her jowls-and hers weren't nearly as pronounced as mine still are. But they bothered her and so the doctor did it. I don't know if they would still charge the full price for a tiny clean up. Hmm. Or, I should just be happy that it's completely changed for me and call it good :)

Comparison shows jowls better than before
Well, I started gathering all of my past photos that I could find prior to my chin/neck lipo and now I have to admit that my jowls are better, even though they are still there. Just went for my follow up appointment yesterday and my Dr said that it will keep getting better over time. It's only been 3 weeks and already things are improving. I have healed up perfectly. The waves and bumps are much better. No one knows I have done anything done because I still don't have a fantastic jawline. But I do feel it's much better than before. I'm happy and glad I did it. When I still see the jowls I start feeling sort of bad but then I look at the before and after and know that it's MUCH better and I settle down.
Nasolabial folds better but jowls worse
So, what I'm noticing is that my previously horrendous nasolabial folds [in my opinion] are much better after the lipo, but, even though I know the doctor sculpted my jowls away and they immediately looked better, now they have reappeared. I am thinking that it's perhaps due to the fat that was previously causing my nasolabial folds has shifted downwards-? I will go in for my post-op appointment in a couple weeks and see what she thinks. It may just be swelling, which I still have. Or, if this is the result maybe she could just do a quick touch up on those jowls and I'll be good to go.
Provider Review
I have nothing but good to say about her. She was very professional, kind and reassuring. When I cancelled on her after chickening out the first time she was ok with it and understood my apprehension. She gave me the name and number of a neck lipo patient who I called and that helped. I still waited 6 months before rebooking. So glad I did. The office girls were very nice. One said, "Don't worry, we'll take good care of you!" and she did. There's really nothing more to report. All went smoothly and without a hitch. My 4 appointments with her were all on time. No problems! [I had to do another pre-proceedure consult because it had been so long]
