About 6 months?

Pretty happy with results. Definitely better than before. Maybe if I lose weight it’ll look better? I don’t know. I do wonder, like a previous reviewer did, if I had gone with someone who had more advanced tools with a skin tightening feature if it’d look better…. But I am also happy I don’t hate what I see in the mirror everyday anymore. Basically, I agree with what Dr. Friedman alluded to… if you are young with great elasticity in your skin, heck yeah 100% go for it, most likely have amazing results, if you are older and don’t have the best elasticity it’s gonna be a little bit of a crapshoot and you most likely won’t have that super sharp jawline that everybody wants and you also will have a scar. It’s not a terrible scar but at 6 months it still is visible (or at least by me). That said, I have no regrets and am happy with my decision!!

5 Week Check Up
TorrentasaurusMay 19, 2023
Visited Dr. Friedman for my 5 week progress check up, he seemed positive, we both know I still need to keep up massaging and it could take even up to 6 months for my neck to stay soft and for the scar to flatten.
I don’t notice any lumps and bumps in artificial light and just normal standing looking straight/side to side, just when I tilt my head all the way back and in natural light. So I stand in front of the mirror by a window and use that light when I massage so I hit certain spots a little harder. I’ve had lipo in that area before, as well as Kybella so it’s possible it’s a contributing factor to the fibrosis.
Most of these other reviews don’t mention what it feels like as you’re healing, so for me personally, sometimes you get little twinges/shock of pain (very small and quick), a heavy, annoying, tight feeling under chin/neck… massaging really helps though.

Asked if this was as “ugly “ as it’s going to get, only better from here on out and Dr. Friedman agreed that if I kept massaging it will continue to look better

Thanks for the heads up about the healing pains! Did massaging the neck after surgery hurt a lot also?

When I first started it seemed to hurt more, maybe because it was more sensitive then?…or maybe I’m just used to it so it’s not as bad. You gotta press really hard, Dr. Friedman will show you how hard you need to press too. I’ll post a photo of the massager I use next time.

Pretty stable

Results seem fairly the same for now. Will continue massage and wearing headwrap for about 18 hours a day. Using Mederma and silicone bandages on incision scar. Headwrap seems to be a bit stretched out and Velcro getting worn, wish they gave me an extra one. Curious if there will be improvement in the shape with massage and time or if this is about as good as it’s going to get. Still happy with the great improvement so far! It was made clear to me that because of my jaw bone shape and age and laxity I would not have a super sharp jawline after this surgery as others may have.
