I had thermitight done on Monday for my jawline area and under my neck. I am still incredibly swollen and I'm scared because it doesn't seem to be going down at all. My skin laxity was not bad at all i just was getting beginnings of jowls. Now I look hideous. When will it start to improve? They had said on the fourth day after I would be basically back to normal. Thats obviously not going to happen. Did my doctor permanently damage me or do something wrong? Is there anything I can do to make it better?
