WORTH IT
It's been a solid 3 months since my procedure, and I'm still happy with the results. Right after I had it, I was convinced I would not consider another treatment nor a filler. Now, I would consider either. I'm glad I waited though, because every now and then, I still feel a little "twinge" that tells me there is still healing/changes going on. With spring arriving, I spent the day in the yard doing cleanup the other day, and for the first time, I saw the affect of allergies---24 hours afterwards, my undereye bags were packed and ready to go! LOL! But what a difference from a year ago, when I wouldn't have noticed the difference.

1 Month Post Treatment
Humorous1960January 14, 2021
It's been one month since Dr. Ritacca performed the Agnes RF procedure under my eyes to improve the appearance of under-eye bags, and am very happy with the results. The final results can take up to 2 months, and I can tell I still have a little healing and swelling remaining in the area, but very minor at this point. I am expecting to see a little bit more improvement, but again, probably minor. I had a follow up appointment last week, and Dr. Ritacca suggested injecting a small amount of filler or fat at the top of my cheeks as a final step, when I am ready. I'm attaching a before & after, and will let the photo speak for itself. Going back to my first review on this procedure, I will say this procedure was WORTH IT! But please do your homework and seek out a highly-qualified, highly-experienced professional to perform the work!!!

Going to be honest, I like the before better. I truly believe a lower bleh would have been a more ethical decision for your situation. Anything that is used off label and not approved by the FDA makes me hesitant. Many of these RF treatments work by melting your own fat (permanent), which is why he is now suggesting you probably need fat or filler to upper cheeks, because the fat was destroyed there as well. I wouldn't recommend doing another round of this. From what I understand, this is a fairly new treatment at their practice. Don't be the lab rat.

Agnes RF destroyed my cheek. I had the jowls treated, and it made my whole cheek look melted. You are correct in feeling hesitant.

Thanks for your comments. To be honest, I had previously considered and discussed a lower bleph, and chose this approach instead. Dr. Ritacca recommended the filler with either approach, so I disagree with your comment that it would not have been necessary if I had gone with the lower bleph. I do agree that anyone considering this should look at the documented experience of their provider and ensure they are the best at what they do. I know that Dr. Ritacca is just that, and trusted him. I really hated my appearance before, as NOTHING would dimish the appearance of those dark under eye circles. I am happy to say that I have no regrets and am thrilled with my results!!

That's great to here! I did not have the same experience at their practice at all. I am going after them for medical negligence.

Would you please more photos since it has been more than 2.5 months? I had my consultation for Agnes RF a year ago , but put it off due to the pandemic. I hated the hollowness under my eyes.

Hi Hollyred1 - here is abefore/after photo, where the after was taking 3/12/21. Approximately 3 months post-treatment. I'm very happy I did the Agnes RF. I am also glad I haven't done anything further yet. Every now and then, I feel little "twinges" that tell me there is still healing going on. This weekend, I was working in the yard, and I can totally tell allergies are in the air, because I saw a big difference with additional puffiness as a result.So, I guess there will always be ups and downs. I am still willing to consider additional steps--perhaps filler, perhaps another treatment. But not ready to make a decision yet.

I'm a week out and one of my eyes seems to have a couple of tiny balls of tissue that I can see ..probably some of the fat not dissolved? Kind a looks like a couple of bottles of cottage cheese under my eyelid. Is it too early to be concerned?

Update

Actually, I've been meaning to post an update for a while, so thanks for the prompt! It's been about 3 weeks since I had the procedure, and I am scheduled to go back for a follow up this coming Friday. I definitely can feel that I am still healing-there are still tender 'bumps' of tissue under my skin that are slowly diminishing in size. I think it takes the body quite some time to fully dissolve and remove the treated tissue, which is why they say it could take up to 2 months to see final results. Overall, though, I am very pleased with the results I'm seeing. You can judge for yourself with the attached photo, taken yesterday.
