WORTH IT
I went for a consultation in October with Dr. O'Connell to see how I could improve my neck and jawline. Dr. O'Connell was very open and honest with me, sharing his opinions on how and why he felt certain procedures wouldn't be worth my time or money and ultimately recommending chin liposuction with Accutite, which is what I ultimately decided to go with.
I went for my pre-op two weeks before the procedure in December; Dr. O'Connell was patient in answering my many questions and really put my anxiety at ease. It's important to note I was over two hours late to my pre-op due to traffic, and the office staff was incredibly accommodating and understanding since I was driving a considerable distance to attend the appointment.
On the day of the procedure, I was so impressed by the entire staff. I was awake for the procedure and so put at ease by the entire staff that I didn't even take the medicine offered to help me relax! The procedure itself was not painful with very mild discomfort during the initial numbing injections. The entire thing took about two hours and then I was home wearing a head wrap full time for three days, and at night for about three weeks. The pain really was minimal and well-managed with Tylenol.
At my follow up, Dr. O'Connell was so reassuring regarding my swelling (the lumps under my chin) and took extra steps to ensure I'd be happy with my overall result. He really is a perfectionist and I am so beyond pleased with my results less than one month out from the procedure. I am continuing to heal and can still see mild swelling however the lumps present in the week post-op have reduced significantly. I would highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for a similar procedure!

Have the lumps gotten smaller? Have you been advised to do anything to help them disappear? Your neckline looks great, btw. I just had a necklift with lipo and I have bumps too. I was told to massage them.

Hi! Yes, the lumps are just about gone now at four weeks out. I began to massage them gently after the first week of healing was finished at the recommendation of my doctor.

Congrats on the great results! Where were the lumps located, and are they gone at this point?
