Beautiful Location - EndoLift Procedure
Location was beautiful. Located in Corona Del Mar, CA. Had discussed areas of concern with Dr. Kevin Karandish. Mid/Lowe face sagging, wanting to improve face elasticity, more defund jaw, and a more lifted/tighter face. He recommended EndoLift. I will go in for my 3 month follow up to assess progress with him in a month or so. TBD.
EndoLift - 9 weeks out
I’m about 9 weeks out. My face does not feel numb the way it use to, just a little throughout certain parts, but it’s very mild. As far as the hardness under my chin, that took a while to go away, it’s still a little hard, but not bad. No more stinging sensations and my face doesn’t feels hot like before. My smile isn’t off any more, back to normal. I did massage my face daily with location and while in the shower. I think that helped all of the above side effects go away.
As far as results, he said full results will take about 3 months, so I’m being patient. I dont see any massive results focusing on the areas I wanted to target which I stressed were my priority concern and wanted improvement. May be they are minor changes, but not what I was hoping for at the cost I paid. Not sure if he will need to do another pass on it to get the ideal results he promised, or perhaps there is something else I can do to help me gain the results I was hoping for. I hope this will not be another cost. I’m still going to wait after that 3 month mark and see him, ask all those questions and go from there, based on what I look like and if there is a change, at the time I go in.

EndoLift
Had EndoLift non surgical procedure on 4/25/2023. It’s been exactly 1 week (7 days today. Yesterday I had my follow up, 5/3/2023. That consisted of 30min under red light, was advised that was to address swelling.
Initial procedure was a little uncomfortable. They gave me a Xanax to relax, which helped. But it was uncomfortable, mostly when he was injecting me with numbing all over face. The procedure itself was fine, I did feel warm/slightly hot sensations, which then he stopped and injected some more numbing. It took about 3 hours or so over all, which I appreciated because it’s not a cheap procedure, and I didn’t want him rushing. I was extremely nervous but he advised/guaranteed I would be happy with results. When I was done I saw no changes, because my face swelled up quickly. They placed the compression bandage over my head, covering mostly under chin, not the rest of face. He gave me prescription to pick up 4 days with of Doxtcycl. First night was not comfortable. My face was was swollen, felt hot, numb, felt stinging sensations all over my face throughout the night, and the burning feeling of my face was consistent.
I’m now 7 days out as today and it’s very difficult to be patient with this process. My face still feels numb all over, cheeks especially, jawline and under chin. I still have those stinging sensations throughout the day. My face feels hot and is warm to the touch. My face is numb and feels numb when I try to touch it. My smile is off, I look weird, kind of deformed.
I’ve kept the compression on throughout most of the day, but I didn’t sleep with it last night and today. As I felt like it was limiting my face movement, and felt that I need to start activating my muscles/nerves. I do massage, most in the shower and when I apply lotion to my face.
I hope I see results, otherwise I’m going to be so upset I spent 3500 for nothing. I know this is super new and way too early to tell - trying to be patient, but it’s difficult.
