Profound RF - Scarring and Hollow Cheeks

I was excited to have this procedure done for my sagging jowls and turkey neck. I was told it was the best treatment available for my problem. The final result over a year later is a disaster. I have been left with white, 1 inch vertical scars across my jowls, clearly caused by the radiofrequency wand.The scars are much whiter than my normal skin color and from a distance look like white rectangular patches. Secondly, any and all of the fat in my face melted away. My cheeks are sunken in and hollowed, giving me an emaciated or skeleton look. Not the look I was trying to achieve. My skin is sagging more than ever and I look ten years older. I did not get any of the skin tightening effects as promised. I am middle aged with a lean build and maybe this procedure was not the best for my body type or perhaps the doctor was too aggressive when performing the procedure. I never thought I would have a problem, particularly with a non-surgical procedure, but I am proof that there are no guarantees.

This is the scarring on my face from the procedure. I have these scars on both sides of my face on my jowls. They can be easily seen from a distance and look like white patches. They were not visible until approximately 8 or 9 months after the procedure. So along with the poor results, I acquired these scars. I also have a few marks under my jaw but they cannot be seen.

I am sorry that the photos are not clear, but I hope they give some idea of the scarring. I don’t know why they are clear on my phone but fuzzy once I post them. I hope this photo is a little better and you may also be able to see in this particular photo that my skin is blotchy, not an issue I previously had.
