Necktite Not As Simple Procedure to Heal from As the Physicians Claim.

I will update as my healing happens. I am a 51 year old healthy female, not overweight. Look young for my age, but felt my neck was stating to show my years. I had the necktite procedure done on Sept 29th, 23. It is now been almost 5 weeks and I cannot believe how terrible my neck looks.

Before I had the procedure, I consulted with Dr. Darm at Aesthetic Medicine in Lake Oswego, Or. The doctor was and is as friendly as always. He told me this was a get on Friday and be back to work on Monday. Do not believe that for a minute. Day of surgery comes and I still have not met the performing cosmetic surgeon. About 30 minutes before my procedure she finally appears and makes some quick marks on my face, ask if I have any questions and then leaves. I am then taken back to the operating room where I am awake for the whole thing. Let me say it is such a cringe worthy experience. First your whole neck and jaw are fully numbed by liquid anesthetic injected in to the point your skin feels it will burst. It’s horrifying and so uncomfortable.. This take around 30 minutes. Next the doctor came in and let me say, there was nothing gentle about this probes violently going into my neck and face. I thought I was going to pass out. It is not painful because you are numb but you can still feel the pressure and it jars your whole head. When I left I was so swollen as you can see. 3 days later I had my first post op (not with the doctor) and I guess all looked fine. I did go back to work 1 week later with a turtle neck on because I was so bruised. Not a big deal but by week 2-3 lots of huge lumps have appeared. And they are so painful. Yes I massage them continuously with bio oil or vitamin E. Its been weeks now, I am at week 5 and they are still there. They are very visible and I have to wear a turtleneck constantly. Thankfully it is fFall going into Winter. Do not do this procedure in the Spring or summer. You wont want to leave the house. I was not told any of this would happen. I was given zero information about this. I had another post op (no doctor) and the nurse assured me this is normal and by 2-3 “months” they should be gone. I did not know when I decided to do this that 2-3 months of my life my neck would look so hideous. So, I hope this information is helpful to anyone else thinking about doing this procedure. I will update pics when the lumps start getting better and hopefully I see the results that I paid over $6k for.

6 weeks in and lumps are so hideous, hard to hide.... they are also so very sore to the touch. Skin fees raw. The Doctor did reach out to me however and said this was normal, but because I am so freaked out she is getting me in this week to probably get steroid creme or other and she said laser to help get rid of this quicker. I will update a new photo soon.
