Improvement?

I am still trying. I do notice that too much treatment makes it swell. Making it look worse for some time.
Right now i have left it alone for two days.
It looks slightly better. But doubt in the end i will achieve my goal this way. I still have all summer to try though

Go back to your doctor and let him determine what that lump is. Two years is quite a long time to determine if it will go away on it's own or with your home treatment. You have a great profile--except for that little lump. You are too young not to take care of it now. Your doctor would want you to see him; otherwise, he has this review floating around in cyberspace. :) Good luck.

It is just a lump of fat that was left. And it is not just that lump, when looking down, it is all kind of lumpy. For that reason i will go to another doctor to have it fixed.
It is only the last two weeks that i tried to treat it with a home gadget.
Since i can't have it treated professionally during the summer time with my 6 year old at home.
Thank you :)

I wished i could delete my last comment.
I am not here to make things worse.
I know this doctor does great work, is professional. And a good person. Great team. Unfortunately it did not work out for me this time. When there was talk of Kybella i contacted this office. And E-mailed with someone who works in this office ( whom this doctor works with). I was going to pay for Kybella. But they were not going to use Kybella for now. I send pictures with it. Showing my problem.
He never sounded in shock about the pictures. Never said i had to come by so they could check it out.

Well, maybe Kybella would work if you have a particular pocket of fat. Or you might ask about the Precision treatment which combines heat and a bit of liposuction. Or the thermitight. Otherwise, your neck looks slimmer and tight.

Improvement

I keep a close watch, and keep taking pictures, ( i am soo excited! I have not had a defimes jaw line like this in a long time!) to make sure it is true what i think is happening. What i think to see. My blister is disappearing slowly, and it slowly seems to get better, also better looking. I have no idea if that gadget can take me where i want to be ( no blob, none), neither if it will afterwards be permanent, or just temporary. The first pictures was right after one of my treatments, my skin was still red from it. I will now post a picture the second day after it.
I have to add, as i am using this gadget, i lost an additional 3 pounds. But i know this blob would go no where without any kind of treatment. Since it did not shift with me losing 50 pounds.
I do suspect using this gadget while loosing some weight speeds up the process.
After i use it my whole chin area feels very light. And i can see immidiate result .

Under chin

louanna97
The blob in the middle under my chin also seems to have improved a lot! Only as soon as i turn my head, there it is again! To my horror.
I have been using the gadget in this manner for about 2 weeks, 2 to three times a week. I don't time it, but i would not be surprised i ise it for an hour or so :-/

What is the gadget that you have been using
June 27, 2015
Tripollar pose. ( i bought it at amazon i think. ( i researched it a lot before i got it, and the tripollar pose comes from the same company as the tripollar professional as far as i could find out( what the doctor uses in his office to improve looks) It is meant ONLY for on your body. Not the face. Also not meant to hurt. While i make it hurt.
I could attack this blob by professionals also just using a machine ( in contrast to lipo) i went for a cunsult. This would be $4000. :-O
So i know it can be done without probes/surgery.
I have had this gadget for a few years, since my tummy won't get as flat as before i had my kid. I did not make my tummy hurt. I pretty much followed instructions. I did feel if you use it a long time, it burns extra calories. But i think it works better on thinner fat, then a big belly. Since it takes so much time to heat up more/thicker fat.
I read tons and tons of reviews of this gadget, but also other gadgets. Also similar gadgets. And found one review of a beautician, who got a similar gadget, with similar workings. She said that the pro machines give a LOT more power out, then any of the home gadgets are able to. So if you want to make it work, go against protocol, and go as high as possible, and as painful as possible. Her gadget was not for fat loss, but for tightning. She got great compliments after using it for a while.
That was what made me understand it a little better. That together with my desperation made me try it this way.
I would not suggest using it on the face!
I also have the tripollar stop.
Which is for the face. Against sagging of my face. I think i have tried about anything to make it work, to see improvement from sag. But have so far not succeded, and thought of selling it on e bay. I just never have used e bay, for that reason i still have it around somewhere.
The pose for me , and the Reaura from Philips ( home laser machine) are the only gadgets that really i could tell a difference from.
The reaura keeps my skin in good condition. I wished i could find a gadget against the cheek sagging. :-/
I tried micro currency. I have three gadgets for that, but nothing. It is in the end also too time consuming.
If i could see improvement i would probably do it though.
June 27, 2015
My overal experience with gadgets, at most they prevent things, delay things. But will not improve anything really. The Reaura makkes my skin look beautiful, but i don't think really demineshes lines already there.
I have rosacea, it keeps the pustules and papules away, keeps my skin in good condition. But does not shrink the skin, like with professional machines. So does not turn the clock back. It just delays things, and makes you look better.
If this Pose gadget works on my chin, it would be the first time i would actually see improvement with a home gadget . Save me money on not having to pay a doctor.
But it is too early to tell right now

Thank you for sharing have you tried the facial flex
June 29, 2015
No.
What is that?
June 29, 2015
Thank you! I just looked it up, and i have looked into that before. I am a believer of the wrinkles you make , are the ones you get. And when you look at the video's you make wrinkles around the mouth. And i am worried it stretches out the mouth too :-/
Do you use it? And like it?
Thank you
