How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

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
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.

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.
