Praying my Results Improve

I’ve never had a defined jawline. It has always been an insecurity of mine that only got worse with age and weight gain. I finally decided to do something about it. This was a big decision for me as I’ve been fortunate enough to never have needed any invasive procedure or surgery in the past. It was a big fear that I had a lot of anxiety about. I’m only 5 days post procedure so I know I still have a long way to go with my recovery but so far I don’t see any improve and it has me concerned. I have neck lipo (no idea what kind) and FaceTite. Dr. Ahn is a well known doctor in my area so I felt confident having my procedure done with him and his team. The pre-op care was amazing and throughout. Post-op I’ve been a little let down. I was told I’d receive a call later in the day after my procedure which never came. I still have not spoken to any member of the surgical team to inform me on how my procedure went. Pain/discomfort has been tolerable however one big oversight was how to remove the residue from the bandage around my neck. I’ve been extremely sticky for days and have tried everything to get it off (rubbing alcohol, oils, soap) nothing works. It’s been very painful trying different methods and this was the one thing that almost broke me. Make sure your ask your provider about this and plan ahead.
I have a follow up in a few days to remove my stitches. I keep updating with photos and results as I heal. Hoping for the best!!

I found a miracle product recommended by my pharmacist called goo gone (for skin). It was the only thing that worked so make sure you purchase some ahead of your surgery.
Stitches came out yesterday (pretty painless). I’m still super swollen but bruising is improving. I’ve started experiencing some intense itchiness and random pains. I believe this is my nerves firing up again and is a positive sign of heeling. No real change yet to profile that I can see.

Following. Definitely curious how it heals and once swelling goes down.

How is the healing and progress going? I had neck lipo and necktite done in August and feel like my results were less than desired. I am trying to give more time for the necktite to work since it takes 3-6 months, but I just cannot imagine a huge difference in one months time. The lipo did get rid of a little neck fat, but minimally.

I posted a couple of before pics with 1 week post op photos. I had FaceTite, chin lipo and morpheus8. I know my face is still healing but I am so happy with the results. Even the one week change was huge. I still have two morpheus8 sessions to go 6 weeks apart. I did a lot of research before having the surgery and I was super nervous I wouldn't get the results I wanted. But, from my research, it seems it has to do with the skill of the surgeon. Mine is very skilled and knew of my concerns so I think he was pretty aggressive.

Just posted an update this week! I still am not really seeing results from the neck and facetite. In terms of fat removal I see the biggest improvement under my chin but not really the sides of my jaw :(

Starting to see some results! I definitely notice an improvement. Is it revolutionary, no. But my surgeon never promised that. Still hoping to see more definition as I lose weight and as time goes on. I don’t see much improvement in my buccal fat area from the facetite that was done. Still very full there. Will update again at 6 months.

If you are holding your head the same way in the first and last pictures, there is a significant difference in the under chin area, even the shadow along your jawline and front cheeks too, I think you look great. One thing I noticed when I started to get some procedures is I focused much more on the relative changes but ended up being pretty scrupulous and seemed to notice more imperfections . This is common and at extremes people get body dysmorphia. Take more new photos of yourself, just living life, and look at them and see if you look fresher or fitter or more like 'you' or whatever it is you might like to see in yourself. It's a more balanced perspective, IMO. You look good.

I had the same procedure and my experience was awful, I now have ridges in my neck and the plastic surgeon advised he cannot do anything.
