Is widening face & numbness in jaw/jowl area normal after Profound RF?

Hello V,
As skin tightens after Profound RF, the cheeks commonly are lifted and may appear to be fuller. If your provider injected a filler such as Sculptra simultaneously there can again be increased volume of the face. As the effects of Profound RF continue to improve over the next 6 months and Elastin is formed, your skin should tighten and your face should not appear to be widened. The numbness along your jaw should resolve (most patients are not numb after a few days to weeks) by 6 months after the treatment the latest. There is not anything to do at this point other than patience as your symptoms resolve over time. Good luck and be well.

Hello,
I should look at your photos to see if a wider look is coming from residual edema in deep lower face area or is coming from lifting effects and or muscle hypertrophy. If it is softer in touch which shows its coming from deep residual edema, it will get better in 6 months.
