Lipo with Renuvion + halo laser for chin/neck rejuvenation

I hated the contour of my chin/neck before. I am genetically predisposed to a thick fat pad under my chin and loose neck skin. So by my mid-thirties I was already looking for help in these areas. I was so embarrassed of my turkey neck I would hide behind my hair. Even at the gym I would avoid putting my hair in a ponytail because I felt like my biggest flaw was on full display. Dr. Mesna suggested lipo with renuvion skin tightening which delivered awesome results.

The procedure was weird because I was awake but numb. So I could feel the cannula under my skin but I'd describe the sensation as uncomfortable and off-putting but not exactly painful. There was some bruising, swelling, and numbness during the healing process, all of which resolved. After the procedure I could see an immediate reduction in the fullness under my chin and a gradual tightening of my skin over the following 3 months. A year after my lipo I asked Dr. Mesna how I could continue to improve upon the contour of my jawline and address some horizontal neck lines that have become more prominent recently.

He suggested a hybrid fractional laser called Halo. The Halo treatment was a bit painful to be honest. It was mostly tolerable but towards the end of each section being treated I was starting to clench the sides of my chair from the heat building on my skin. After the procedure my skin felt sunburned and there was a lot of swelling.

Then the brown spots came to the surface and started to peel off. The area right under my chin had some puss that even crusted over too. It was pretty disgusting! It took about a week and a half for the skin to heal. I'm happy with the added tightness in my jawline and right under my chin. I am surprised to see continuous improvement every day and am told the results should continue to improve for another 3 months.
