Pretty easy, no-frills experience and I'm happy
ORIGINAL POST
I'm happy with my results.
WORTH IT$3,800
Went in for a consultation with Dr. Yousefi and was quoted for $3,800 for both chin and neck lipo. Paid my deposit same day and waited a week for my pre-op appointment, where I paid the rest of my balance. Pretty standard health questions were asked (similar to the intake form). The staff will provide guides of what to avoid pre-op and recommend items to purchase post-op, which was pretty helpful in my recovery.
The surgery was done early in the morning and I chose twilight sedation, which I believe was
Valium through an IV with a local anesthetic to the chin and neck area. I was anxious about "going under", but it ended up being very, very chill. It is similar in feeling to the zombie-like state of when you've just taken Nyquil, but you remain half awake. I didn't feel A THING during the procedure and barely remember the drive home. I think I was there for less than an hour and a half and left with my head wrapped.
The day of the surgery was the only day I really felt any strong side effects. I was prescribed Oxycodone, an antibiotic, and some anti-nausea medication. But besides some tightness in the skin, I healed up just fine. I recommend purchasing a washable compression garment on Amazon to use for the first two weeks (try and wear it as much a you can). I also started doing my own lymphatic massages which has helped with the lumps.
I had a super short initial follow-up which probably could've been done on the phone, but I think most of these appointments are patient-driven. Overall, pretty easy, no-frills experience and I'm happy that I no longer have a double chin!

Still looking good!
I decided to get chin filler from another medical spa and my results looked even more snatched! The combination of chin lipo + filler gave me the side profile I've been dreaming of!

Super happy with my final results! My healing journey was fine, but everyone's body reacts difffently. I still recommend for the first couple months doing your own lymphatic massages. I bought a massage oil on Amazon and referred to Youtube tutorials. This procedure has greatly helped my self-confidence as I had a double chin even at much lower weight.
