Jandali Plastic Surgery

I am a new model in town, however I started my journey of modeling very late in my age, I am 38 and look pretty good, but the camera lights sometimes starring on to phone long hours, I am finding the lines on my forehead was getting a little intense I had to get them treated and I was skeptical at first to do a Botox or not. I finally took my chances and did Dysport I did it! my frown lines is gone face looks smooth and young I really am happy I chose Jandali's.

I’ve been seeing Suzanne for a few weeks now and having my lips done has always been a must for me after an oral surgery left me with the thinnest upper lip ever!

Suzanne is the most down to earth, honest and personable person ever and an even better injector.

I was nervous about getting my lips done but she took all of that fear away from me, and guided me along the way to make sure my lips are exactly what I wanted.

I’m so happy I met Suzanne and I’m pretty sure I’ll be going to see her as long as she is injecting!!

I started looking for a non-surgical fix for my laxed skin, dropping mouth, and jowls that gave me the appearance of a grumpy old lady. I decided to do something about my resting bitch face because I was becoming weary of repeatedly being asked why are you mad or upset, when in truth there was nothing wrong, I was fine and happy. So much for growing old gracefully and looking happy while doing it. Okay I'll admit it, I wanted a younger looking face and neck also big smile. Now except for a few women's reviews here on the Real Self's site I was not able to find any true life reviews with results or information on Profound RF that was not commercialized. I went for a non-pressured consultation and was told I could benefit from the procedure. So anyway here I am. I will try to check in weekly to post my experience and results over the next few month. Posting of photos makes me feel vulnerable and exposed but I know how beneficial they can be, so I will post some. I hope other will find this helpful and that I achieve the results I want.

I had the procedure done at Jandali Plastic Surgery's office by Suzanne Naples BSN, RN, she is well experienced at Profound RF. I knew I was in capable hands she was fantastic and very accommodating. The facility is welcoming and clean and the staff is amazing: professional, knowledgeable, and very friendly, from the receptionists, to the nurses, right to Dr. Jandali himself.

With that being said, This is my personal experience and end results.
Day of: I took a mild anti-anxiety medicine that was offered because I didn't know what to expect. We started by taking a few "before" photos. Next, laying down Suzanne made sure I was comfortable, offered me a blanket and two stress balls to hold. When I think about it now those stress balls really did help a lot, like biting a bullet. No numbing cream was applied before the local anesthesia injections and I don't think pre-numbing was necessary. For me there were a few sensitive areas during the injections: near ears and around the lips and high cheeks, which made my eyes tear. Once numbed the actual RF injectable needles process was not painful but for an occasional discomfort. I guess the best way to explain the discomfort is that it felt like localized heat penetrating the layers of my skin that would reach a peck than subside before it became painful (breath and squeeze stresses balls). At times, I heard crackling noises, but nothing alarming. At one point, I needed additional anesthesia on my cheeks closes to my ears. I thought it would hurt around the lips, but nope and surprisingly I felt no pain in the neck area which I thought would be really sensitive. Two and half hours after arriving I left with ice packs and goody bag (moisturize, sunscreen, and make-up foundation) in hand, no pain, feeling normal except for the red cheeks and neck with needle punch marks on them.

I made some notes on my cell over the week. Posting them just as they were written because I'm sure they convey the feelings I had at that time. Please excuse any misspelled words or confusion as I was just trying to get my thought down.
For the first 48 hours I iced and slept sitting up.
Day 1: 24 hours later. There was no change, red and irritated looking but no pain. I had extreme swelling.
Day 2: 48 hours later. Continued swelling in my face, it's twice it normal size, still red and has the look of bad acne now, slight bruising beginning, feels tingly and has a numb feeling on touch, my skin feels lathery and tight but not in a good way but more dry, started to use moisture as directed.
Day 3 and 4: More bruises have appeared although it is very minimal and what was already there has slightly darkened. Don't know if the low bruising was the results of a skilled technician or for 3 days prior to the procedure I dissolved 5 pellets of Arnica Montana 200ck under my tongue 3 times a day and continued using it for another 3 after or maybe a combination. Swelling has gone down on day 4 but again, very minimal. Makes my jaw line look square and face has a fuller appearances, my jowls look larger and protruding hoping it doesn't stay and this is where my collagen is going to rebuild. Cheeks look like I have very bad acne or acne scars. My face is still leathery. Also tender, tingling, and numb to the touch. Neck now is loose and wobbles like a turkey's neck when I shake my head.
Day 5 and 6: Although the general redness is gone my cheeks still have red bumps on them it looks like I have very bad acne and acne scars, hoping this doesn't last. I was prepared for pain, redness, bruising, and swelling but not the bumps on my face. If you were to ask me today if it was worth it I'd say NO. I'm extremely worried about face scaring at this point. Still swelling in face and neck. Still tingling to the touch and day 5 I now feel periodic pinching sensation, (nerves?)
Seven days after the Profound RF. Swelling continues in face and neck, along with my turkey neck. I have heard from others as well that swelling takes months before going down. Jaw is tender to touch, numb and tingly feeling is still there although it is less each passing day. Pinching sensation is gone. When I running my finger over my skin I feel bumps, lumps and creators. Red bumps still prominent they are my biggest concern right now. I will ask about them at my post check-up.

21 Days: No photos, just checking in. At my 1 week post check-up my medical practitioner told me everything looked great and the red bumps are common, they will disappear in time. That time for me was over 2 weeks before the red faded and the raised bumps went down. Now when I run my fingers across my cheeks and neck it feels rough and my complexion is blotchy. I was told by my practitioner not to do anything like a Microdermabrasion or peel for 6 week till I get my coloring back. Physically there is no change in the firmness or elasticity of my skin. Although my skin feels tighter or perhaps it's just dryer. My skin has always been on the oily side which I believe helps with the wrinkles. I can't see how less natural oils on my skin is going to help it, I find this upsetting. Face and neck are still slightly swollen with wobble neck but nothing anyone else seems to notice or has commented on. Both face and neck are numb, yet tender to the touch. It's especially tender on the neck and jaw line but this is only if I apply pressure. After applying moisturizer, make-up or washing my face I experiences a tingling, vibrating sensation, again this is nothing alarming just interesting. On occasion I feel a localized nerve zap or pinch. The strangest thing is out of nowhere I experience a cheek face flush, sort of like I'm blushing but I can feel it, all prickly. I'm not trying to frighten or persuade anyone with these symptoms I'm only sharing my experience and please note it is never painful even with my face smashed in to my pillow at night :) I can honestly say as of today; it is still not worth the cost, but time well tell.

Sorry I haven't updated my progress or reported anything, but to tell you the truth there hasn't been any changes and I mean nothing at all. Now I realize why a lot of Profound RF posts aren't updated for months at a time.
Around the 4 month mark my skin returned to its former self pertaining to the nerves. The occasional zapping stopped around 2 months and the tingling feeling when I rubbed or touched my face and neck subsided completely around 4 months. And I must say I'm relived because I'm following a young woman on the RealSelf forum that also had Profound done on her face and neck. According to her, she still has nerve sensitivity even at 9 months. Unfortunately, her result are not what she was hoping for either. By the way I thought she looked great even before her treatment.
The tight feeling my skin had in the first month and a half is gone and my oil production returned to normal along the same time. My skin's firmness or elasticity has not improved. Now at six months when I look into the mirror I see my former face before the treatment. My neck still sagging as it was before and my jowls are still there, no tighter or less and my jaw line doesn't look any more defined. But at least the turkey wobble neck from the treatment is now gone.
A concern of mine was the bumps, redness and blotchiness of my skin after the treatment. Around 8 to 10 weeks that all settled down. But now on my cheeks I have pigment scarring or maybe it's call hyper pigmentation - skin that's darker in color than the normal surrounding skin- mine are small dots or needle pricks that I would described looking like light freckles evenly spaced. It's not the whole treated face but a small area the size of a sliver dollar and it's only noticeable in some lights and probably only by me. I was very vigilant about using sunscreen at all times.
At my six month check-up on Dec 16 my practitioner noted no different but again she reminded me that patient don't start see results until the 6 to 9 month mark and sometimes you just don't realize your getting results if you're looking at it every day because the change is very subtle.
I have taking a few six month photos myself but the quality is poor and hard to see anything. I will try again after the holidays. My practitioner has been taking photos of my journey, she said she'll have someone compile all my before and after photos and send them to me. Once I receive the photos I will share them.
