WORTH IT$2,900
when i first went in to meet with my PS, he recommended a neck lift. For appox $15k i said, no thank you, and asked if i was a good candidate for chin/neck lipo. He said although he couldn't guarantee i would get the results i wanted, he said that i would definitely notice a difference and it would be better. I had it done today! The worst part of the procedure was my nerves going in. He shot me up with some local anesthetic and got to work. He used regular lipo with a mini cannula. He said those are more precise and ideally less bruising. So I'm all bandaged up, still a little numb and minimal soreness. I'm wearing the compression wrap for the next few days. I'm super anxious about removing it and seeing the work. Although i am only 40 years old, i'm worried that there is going to be skin hanging down my neck. I'm sure all my nerves are natural, but anybody else who's had it, please feel free to tell me its all going to be ok :) Before pics now. Get my dressings off on Wednesday, will post progress. Wish me luck!

Day 1 - Zero difference
AD37September 13, 2016
Ok so i was scared to take the wrap off bc i was scared about sagging skin. Did not think about my other fear which is there is no difference and it actually to me looks worse. I know i am swollen but am worried that i wasted my $ and embarrassed i went thru with it if there will be no difference. Did anybody else feel like this day 1 post op?

Don't worry. I'm on day 2 post surgery and I see little to no improvement. My double chin looks somewhat smaller But I've heard to give it almost a full 3 months before you can see the true results so I'm not worried. Just try not to judge it yet. There will be good and bad days for swelling also so just try to be patient. Good luck!!!

I am trting to he patient. I still see a bulge under my chin and I had surgery Oct 7 2016. I do feel a lot of swelling

Hey Tamikas, try not to worry too much. i still have lumps but they do get better and nobody has noticed. I was still super swollen at day 10. Its true what they say about giving it some time. It will get better, and let me know if you have any questions, i'm happy to help :)

Are you taking any supplements or anything? I was warned that it could possibly get worse before it gets better. So far my swelling has been diminishing. Dr. Moretz has me taking supplements, arnica gel and using a red light.
Supplements are arnica tablets multiple times a day, pineapple juice, bromelain and arnica gel I apply before using my red light. I also got Myers cocktail IV. The red light I use the Kathy Ireland revive and it is as good as a professional omnilux.
Do you have a IV doc near you? If you do I highly recommend getting the Meyers cocktail.

Hey Pretty Peggy, yes I took arnica leading up to the procedure and bromalein after for about a week. The dr didn't seem to think it would make much of a difference. I also used some arnica gel before I went to work but I didn't bruise all that badly. It DEFINITELY got worse before it got better. That is so true. And it's crazy bc it stays worse for a few weeks and then it just gradually gets better. You really just need to give it time. :)

I'm so glad to hear you are getting better :) I'm so happy with this procedure and happy for anyone who has gotten it. I think it really makes a difference.
So far, I keep waiting for mine to get worse, it makes me a little nervous but I'm following all of the after care instructions and things seem to be going well. I'm using this micro current roller that I got from Amazon which seems to be really helping with the lumps and the red lighg omg the DPL led light on Amazon I used yesterday and it was awesome. Plus costs less than the revive that I own.

Good luck beautiful.. I did it too and for some reason the results have diminished:( I hope my surgeon will fix it

I just had my chin lipo last Thursday 2/9. I didn't have any bruising just some tenderness, but I don't see any difference at all.

Hii! When I got mine done, I saw a difference on day three, and then it got really swollen and I couldn't see a difference for about 6 weeks. Try to be patient. I'd be very surprised if you didn't see results 4-6 weeks in. I didn't have terrible bruising either. Good luck and be patient. :)

Hi, I don't know if my last reply went thru.. try to be patient, I am sure you will see results. Mine got way worse before it got better.

I'm at 4 weeks and mine looks worse than it did before the procedure. I'm just a more square version of my fat self. Very frustrating !

Hi JeeKnee, I've said it on here before but mine definitely got worse before it got better. Day three it looked awesome and then for about a month - month and a half it was pretty much the same but bumpy and tender. Give it time I'm sure you will be happy with the results. It's so hard to do though,I get it!

Yes, Dr. Tae Ho Kim. he is in the west villiage. Super nice guy. I felt he's no [RS bleep]. I remember him telling me at our consult that he wasn't going to make me any promises. I think some people would have not liked that, but i felt like he was honest and genuine. I never felt like he was trying to up-sell me - even when we talked about a neck lift vs lipo. He also did this procedure on his wife, so if its good enough for her.. My husband also met him and got the same good vibe that i did. I will say though, he's like so chill about it.. Leading up i thought i would have to watch diet, stop taking supplements etc.. He was like, nah - you're fine. I think he thought i was a little on the crazy side. But he and his asst always answered my numerous questions and made me feel really comfortable.
