64 Year Old Seeking Tightening of the Jawline & Neck

I have been a patient of my plastic surgeon for almost 20 years. I started with Botox, had laser under my eyes and a Sculptra liquid face lift over the years.
I was unhappy with my sagging jawline and neck. Who isn’t at 64?
I asked my surgeon to tell me honestly whether I needed a neck lift. He said that I didn’t , and that I was an excellent candidate for Precision TX.
I had it done 2 weeks ago. I was asleep, but didn’t have general anesthesia.
I had to wear the chin strap 24 hours for 5 days. I now wear the compression garment only at night.
I took only 1 prescription pain pill after the procedure and only 2 Extra Strength Tylenol the day after.
I didn’t have pain; just discomfort from the swelling and the chin strap. My neck also feels tight, which is normal. I had very little bruising.
2 weeks out, my neck and the area under my chin are still swollen, but it improves every day.
The thing I didn’t expect was the dimpling and bumpiness of the treated areas. Again, my doctor and his nurse (who has had Precision TX) said it is normal. He said it will take at least 3 months for my skin to remodel itself.
Fortunately, I can see some tightening in my jawline.
I know some surgeons websites say you can return to work 2-3 days after the procedure. I have no idea how this could be unless you work from home! You are noticeably swollen & have to wear the compression garment.
I live in New England, and would recommend that if you live in a cool climate, you have the procedure in the fall or winter when you can wear turtlenecks to hide the swelling, etc.
Fortunately, I have a nice collection of infinity scarves and wear them when I go out. Otherwise, I would be very self conscious about the swelling, bumps, etc.
I think (pray!) I will be pleased with the final outcome.
Time will tell ...
I’ll post again at 2 months.

This past Friday was 4 weeks after my Precision Tx procedure.
The left side of my neck and jawline looks great, although there is still some swelling and numbness. The right side is healing slower. There is definitely a noticeable tightening along the jawline, but there is still a pocket of swelling that looks like a pouch. I know it isn’t a fat deposit because when i touch it, i can feel that its swollen
There is still some soreness & tightness under my chin. Again, the left side feels better than the right, so I’m assuming it is due to healing faster on that side.
This has been a more complicated healing process than i expected from reading about the procedure. However, my doctor did say it would be weeks, and at least 3 months before i would see the final results.
At least I'm seeing progress, and am optimistic i will be pleased at 3 months.
I will post again in a month
