4 weeks after - Neck is saggy, beneath my chin is lumpy
I had the MyEllevate with Accutite and wore my compression garment for FOUR WEEKS post-procedure at the doctor’s advice. Four weeks and two days later, my neck is saggy, and the area beneath my chin is lumpy underneath with visible indents on the surface. Oh, and my platysmal bands - which MyEllevate specially claims to address - are more prominent than ever.
However, my doctor - who is one of MyEllevate’s most vocal and visible promoters - says it looks better than before. Perhaps a bit on the left side, profile view only? But the right side is droopy, and straight-on is worse. He partially blames scar tissue from previous procedures on my outcome, but he knew that scar tissue was present prior to the procedure. “Skin will continue to tighten over six months.” Oh please. We’ve all heard that one.
Will my platysmal bands magically disappear, too? Please, just don’t do it. Get the surgery instead. Go to a surgeon who doesn’t promote ineffective, trendy, quick-fix alternatives and gimmicky procedures. Seriously, I had a PDO thread lift in the past from a beautiful Russian nurse who learned how to do thread lifts in the restroom at Newark International.
My result, albeit short-lived, was infinity times better than the MyEllevate result, and it cost me about $7500 less. I’ve learned the hard way. You don’t have to! Just say “no” to MyEllevate.
Provider Review
I did not see Dr. DiBernardo at all after he finished my procedure. I did not get a call from him that day/evening to check in/follow up. He does not answer his own emails nor does be address his patients’ concerns in between follow-up visits. Instead, his daughter’s friend, Kris, is in charge of corresponding with patients, and that is a review for another day. Prior to this experience, I had never met a doctor who could not care less about the well-being of his patients. Dr. DiBernardo’s MyEllevate/Accutite procedure was a total failure. Admittedly, I had scar tissue from previous procedures, but MyEllevate is supposed to - at the very least - address platysmal bands/submandibular glands. Dr. DiBernardo’s procedure did nothing but make my neck and bands worse. If I could give him, the procedure and my entire experience with his practice (New Jersey Plastic Surgery) zero stars, I would.
