Themi Tight -do before you are 60

I have pretty good skin tone but past 2 years noticed some loss of elasticity and laxity. Saw a prestigious plastic surgeon who suggested a face lift. Then I saw another Dr who also thought a face lift because he said my expectations were too high and ThermiTight wouldn't give me immediate results that I wanted. Third opinion plastic surgeon told me to try ThermiTight and said that my laxity wasn't bad and I was a perfect candidate. Today is when I was scheduled. In summary, three areas were injected for numbing and 3 areas were then probed like an arthroscopy ! Then the cannula type of probe was inserted and it felt a little warm & there was pressure but no pain. I found the area around the chin to be a bit more uncomfortable. The entire procedure was maybe 30 minutes. I was fitted with a compression facial garment to wear for 24 hrs but from what I've read, most people wear it for 2-3 days. I noticed swelling and black and blue immediately

It is almost 24 hours since procedure and the only discomfort is wearing the facial compression garment. It is itchy and annoying. Some people wrote they wear this garment for 2 days and then every night for a week. Dr. told me 1 day, so I'm a bit confused. Another doctor on RealSelf stated the garment doesn't even make a difference so who knows. I changed the band-Aid beneath my chin & also pulled away the sides of the compression garment to peek. Both cheeks are slightly bruised - not bad but I won't leave the house yet .

Hi. It is now 18 months since my Thermi Tight. I have to say that it did nothing for my lower face... but it did give me a more defined neck. I was told after 3 months is when the "Magic happens". No magic here, at the 6 month mark - no difference either. At 1 year post-thermi, I notice my under the chin profile looked much better. Nobody notices anything as a result of Thermi except me. The difference is just so minimal. Was it worth the money $6500 ? NO.... because for me to get the results that I want, a lower face lift is necessary. So - when I decide to undergo the lower face lift, the neck area will be part of that procedure. I don't think this is a good option for anybody close to 60 years old. IF you are JUST NOTICING some laxity for the onset of potential sagging - DO IT ASAP. Once the process has begun, the results are really unnoticeable and better off spending your hard-earned dollars on the lower face lift.
