Did NOT Work

Well, it's been 18 months or so now, and no difference whatsoever. I am now getting lipo on this area, which I should have done last year.

Two Months Later
Well, I still quite like the look of my ex-jowls. The lipo-dissolve definitely did something there and I'm pleased.
The double chin / under-chin area on the other hand, actually seems slightly larger, though that could be because I'm now comparing it to the smaller jowl area, so it's more noticeable.
Either way, I would not do this again even though I am quite happy with the results. It was just TOO swollen and it was quite ridiculous to be honest. I would've been ok with it if it hadn't been on my face and thus 100% visible.
I'm now looking to get actual lipo or smart / laser assisted lipo for my chin.

Im interested in this procedure for jowls as well, hows it going? Any updates? Did you just have the one session? Can you post a before pic of the area, and after pic now?

Honestly, in my case, I can't see any difference in any area (jowls, chin or neck) many months later. I did notice some reduction a few months following, but nowadays, I think I look the same as I always did, and it feels to me as if the fat that was reduced has actually returned.

Wish she would have administered more steroids. You shouldn't have been swollen that long.

I had two steroid pills prior to the procedure, and then one more per day for the two days following. Imagine how I'd have been if I hadn't had any!?!? OH MY GOD!

Still not sure
So it's been now 5 weeks almost, the mild swelling from my dental procedure has vanished and yet, I am still seeing no noticeably change in the jowls and chin area than 2-3 weeks or so ago.
GRRRRR. The area under my chin STILL feels sore and tight and also my left jowl area is still a bit tender when touched firmly. I am still doing my massages, but only once a day or so when I remember.
I will return with another update when I get to the 8 week mark.

You are so funny. Maybe because I went through exactly what you did so I know that wobbly jiggly feeling you're talking about. I actually had mine done twice. I was not at all happy with my first treatment, not that it didn't work, it did. I swelled even more than you did. I felt like a frog with the mumps but I'm older and had a lot more fat there. What happened to me was after several months, in place of the fat, I now had a sort of lumpy appearance to my double chin, making me look saggy and older. I was heartbroken. My doctor told me that I needed another treatment (which he warned me I might before hand). He explained all the fat wasn't gone yet. There was still some pockets but I was afraid I would get even more saggy so I hesitated for months and finally decided that since I hated how lumpy and saggy it looked anyway, I didn't have much to loose. I was either going to still be saggy, or perhaps even more saggy, or maybe he was right and I just needed to remove more fat. I am so happy I listened to him. That second treatment really did the trick for me. So, don't despair. It should just keep on getting better and better as time goes on. It really took several months before I saw the full benefit. My doctor also told me I should go in for a treatment every year or so as more fat cells emerge so that the skin doesn't end up stretching out too much from the weight of the fat as I get older. The fact that you swelled means it was working. The swelling is your body being irritated and sending collagen to the area for repair. It's a good thing. Like when you have an injury and it starts to itch when it's getting better. Like your doctor said, it's not for everyone but it really helped me. It took a while but I was a good candidate and I think you probably are too. Good luck with it. I really enjoyed reading your post. Thank you :)

I was in the Clinical trial in 2005, I must have gotten the placebo because it never worked for me. And I am lol for real when I read your post, I can still remember my frog/Hippopotamus jiggle and the injection sites were very sore. I also remember tripping on the bathroom mat and landing but first on the toilet and I swear it took my neck 5 min. to quit jiggling LMBO

It should just keep on getting better and better as time goes on. It really took several months before I saw the full benefit. As long as you're still feeling that weird sensation you get when you touch it, it is actually still working.
