Here are photos of the side - I can see some difference in the neck, and maybe in the jowls, but it's a bit harder to tell since the angle is slightly different.

I don't see much improvement in the jowl area and only minimal improvement in the jawline. Perhaps there is still residual post operative swelling. If there is not more improvement in another month or so, I would certainly question the doctor as there should be more improvement.

It must be frustrating not to see any improvement. And also annoying when in spends so much money and goes through a procedure. What was the fee for the Thermi Tight?

bennielo, it was $3.5K - not cheap by any means

I was quoted $4800! But guessing that would include the anesthesia, if any, and tbe facility fee which you probably paid as part of the whole package the dr. quoted for the two procefures you got at the same time,

I got a discount for doing more than one procedure, and it's done under local so there was no anesthesia fee

So the whole procedure (eyes included) was under local?

Yes. I think there's no reason to do them under anything stronger - unless you are really freaked out by the idea. But one Valium took care of that for me. You will recover much faster and the risk of anesthesia side effects is minimized.

I can see improvement. Probably, people who see you will think you've lost weight since your face is noticeably thinner. Did you ask if ThermiRF dissolves collagen resulting from PMMA (Artefill/Bellafill)? I wonder how, or if this treatment has an effect upon Silikon 1000 or the other filler made by Bausch and Lomb? After your one month post op analysis have you concluded this procedure is worth the recovery time, risk and expense?

Sorry, I don't know the answers to these questions, I would recommend asking a Thermi expert. I guess it all depends on their melting point. The annoying thing is that a month and even three months are apparently not enough to tell the final results (you're supposed to improve gradually). But recovery time and risk to me were minimal. The expense, not so much. It's much less than a minifacelift, but so far I'm not sure about the result.

Your eyes look pretty and have a lovely shape. Truthfully, I don't see too much difference in the jowl area.

Thank you, and I agree with you on the jowls... if there is, it's minimal at this point.

You look great. Had the Thermi RF two weeks ago for my neck. I have two visible white lines that go from one side of my neck to the other. Is is where she put in the probe. Did you have that? My dr says that the probe did not cause the lines. She is also doing 2 skin tyte procedures on my neck. Did you have that done as well. TY :)

Bella, thank you. I didn't have any white lines, at least not that I noticed. I didn't do anything on the neck, only on the lower face.

did you see any more improvement in jowl area after time? I just did the Profound procedure (almost 4 weeks out) and essentially I think it looks pretty much the same. Am thankful though that so far no negative other effects. I think thermitight used the same radio frequency technology. Any updates would be greatly appreciated

Have your tried a second treatment? I've heard you really need 2 treatment to get desirable results. I cant really see a difference in the before and after pics of this 1st treatment.

So the eyes are doing good and I'm actually wondering if I was wrong about the conservative approach and should've taken more off... but really no regrets so far. The red line is still there and I need to cover it with makeup (and I think if you look closely, you'll easily see it, but so far I've met my parents a number of times wearing glasses and they have not said a thing).

I am not completely sure about the lower face though. I think I see some improvement, but it's slight. Maybe it would help to see a professional photo taken from the same angle, which is why I asked my doctor's for the before and after pictures they took on my follow-up visit, but they are being strange and are not sending them to me. So judge for yourself.

Problem is, I have a big event coming up in two weeks so I am considering doing Voluma to improve the contour, but that will obviously distort Thermi results. I guess I can ask the doctor to take photos after Voluma and see if there's any improvement down the road.

Thanks for the update! If you hadn't pointed out the red line, I doubt I would have noticed. Eyes are looking great. I hear it can take up to 6 months to see the Thermi results. Hang in there.

I am considering ThermiRF so will be very interested in continuing to follow your results and to see if you are happy with your results.

I guess we will have to wait longer... i did get some fillers today because i have an event in a week that i need to look good for, so i am thinking of going to my doctor's to get another 'baseline' photo
