*Treatment results may vary

A couple of years later, I finally have the tighter jawline that I wanted from Profound -- but it took a facelift to get it. :P

I never saw any real improvement in the sagging and jowly face/neck area from Profound. I ended up doing a short scar mid-lift procedure with another local surgeon, Dr. Mustoe, and now I have the improvement I wanted. If I could do it again, I'd save the $4k I spent on Profound and put it towards the expense of a mid-lift -- which is the only procedure imo that would give me noticeable improvement.

Three Months Post Profound RF Update

One of the things I was most concerned about after doing the Profound treatment for lower face and neck was that my skin would stay looser and swollen, that it would actually be worse in appearance than before the treatment. I'm happy to report that THAT is not the case. That's a very far cry from having noticeable improvement, but at least my neck is much tighter than the first 1-2 months after treatment. It looks better, in general. Does it look better than before treatment? Can't say it does. It's certainly not a noticeable improvement of any kind. At this point, I wouldn't do it again, wouldn't recommend. I'll keep monitoring and in 3 months, if it's tightened up and I have a nice jawline, I'd be thrilled. I'm posting pics with my chin slightly raised, and then same angle but slightly lowered, to show variance in the appearance from the same angle.

60 Days Post Profound Procedure

I took these on April 15, 2019, so 2 months after my Profound of lower face and neck on February 14. I've noticed some improvement to the area in the past 30 days. It's difficult to say there's any improvement since BEFORE the procedure, but there's definitely minor improvement in the past 30 days. I had noticed after the procedure that I was puffy for the first month, so I think most of what I'm noticing is just that there is no more swelling. It could be the *teeniest* bit more tightened up...? Hard to say. It's certainly not noticeable results yet. Still hoping that is coming, though.
At this point, if I had to do it over again, I'd save the $4k and get a lower facelift. I hope in a few more months that I have a different opinion. We shall see.
***I'm still waiting for my doctor's Before pics so that I can add those to this review, but also I know my body, obviously, I know what I looked like before, and there's no noticeable improvement at this time.
