  • 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.

Devices- what I used in recovery

I’ve had a few people ask what I used in recovery so I wanted to post for you. I think these really made a huge difference in my overall results and prevented me from needing any skin tightening procedures afterwards.

Note- if you had any type of fat transfer or filler to you lips while wearing these it will take 10 times longer for your swelling to go down to normal. Learned this this hard way- it took about 6 weeks before I looked normal in public again haha.

1. Lipo foam sheets- cut to fit the double chin area (the soft area between your jaw bone and your neck). Bevel the sharp corner that hits your jaw bone so it makes a smooth transition to your jaw bone. Ends up being a wide U shape- should put gentle pressure on the soft tissue area you had lipo’d while allowing you to swallow. I wore these every night for the first 12 weeks, then most nights for almost a year. I still wear them occasionally.

2. Chin strap- I had a fat transfer to my chin and couldn’t put any pressure on my new chin so this is the one I bought.

15 month update

Still the best decision ever- look at this jaw line!! In my second surgery (see my other review) I had her touch up my chin and lips with fat grafting while she was doing fat grafting for other areas. Honestly don’t notice much of a difference in my lips, but my chin and jawline is incredible.

Almost one year post-op

Results speak for themself. Only thing I would change is not tell my surgeon to go conservative on the abdominal lipo and fat transfer to the lips. Wish I had done a little more of both. Otherwise, I am absolutely THRILLED with my results. Dr. Timek is the best and I refer friends, even strangers, who notice my work to her constantly.
