$5,000
I will have Thermi Tight on Monday the 10th. have loose skin on my neck and do not want to have surgery. I would only trust Dr R to do it.
This procedure is more $ than I thought it would be. May only last one year. Expensive for me but I will give it a try. Hope there is an improvement.
I will give updates on any improvement I see.

Above: I did not finish my comments. I had hoped the pharmaceutical co. would have given a better incentive than $200 at the open house for a new procedure

You should have just done a neck lift or a lower face lift same cost, better results, much longer lasting results

I had a horrible outcome with this procedure, I hope yours went well. I had sagging lip on one side and couldn't manipulate my mouth to speak correctly. That is slowly getting better but after 3 months, I still have soreness and some numbness. What I've noticed is that maybe (!) my chin is getting tighter but the skin is now looser - the result is that I'm more wrinkly than before. I would not recommend this to anyone!

He gave me very little information when I look back on it - he said it non invasive, minor to moderate swelling for a few days, no down time. He did not show me pictures of his patients, but he had done it himself which is why I trusted him. He said he went back to work the next day - I didn't leave the house for 5 days. After 6 weeks of numbness and swelling for a month, he told me he still had numbness and some lip drooping. He did not reveal this before! He never revealed that skin might be more wrinkled afterwards since it's tightened underneath.

Wow, so the skin doesn't shrink along with the underlying tissue?
I would hope that that in time the skin will shrink as well, could it be part of the process?
Full disclosure should gave been made available to you.
I bet it will improve soon!

Dr Rafizadeh explained every thing in detail what he was going to do before he did it.
No pain at all! The pain was what I was most concerned about. Slightly uncomfortable stinging when injected with local .
Procedure went quickly, I think I fell asleep. Dr Rafizizeh was very supportive and calmed my nervousness. He is a great doctor and I would not trust anyone else with my face.
I have a head wrap on for a day or two. It covers my neck and lower cheeks. I really can't see any thing yet. Cheeks are a little swollen.
No bruising. Taking my Arnica and drinking plenty of water. Update tomorrow

Thanks so much for doing this. I think so many of us are interested in hearing more about the non-invasive treatments, and as of now there seem to be quite mixed reviews. Some very good, some not so good, and some sounding like "Oh my!"
So, I really do hope you will keep us posted!

8-10 PM Day of Thermi Tight procedure.
PM Day one: Having some difficulty chewing so I made a soft boiled egg, Nutri Bullet shake. Kale, pineapple, apple, lemon, good choice. Drank with a straw. All is well, no pain. Took a long nap with my kitty

DAY TWO: ThermiTight. Recovery

Slept on and off most of the night. Difficult sleeping on my back. Used nice soft pillows to prop up my head. Compression Bandage starting to itch. No complaints. Cheeks less swollen, NO pain at all. I feel pretty good, not going out nasty day. can't wait to see what is under this compression bandage. But I am looking forward to the end result.
Bubble bath tonight. Can't believe how I am looking forward to this. Lavender bubbles. It's the little things that are helping me forget that my head is shrink wrapped.

My son came by unexpectedly, "Oh no, what the heck did you do to your self'
My response, ' my face, my money' Now go get me some ice cream.
