Facelift or Thermi-tight? THERMI Rules! - San Francisco, CA

WORTH IT$4,500
I ALMOST did a face-lift (with another doc., but really wasn't thrilled about the invasiveness). As explained by Dr G this procedure brings the face UP, as opposed to a facelift which pulls the skin BACK. It has been a month, and I ain't gonna lie. This was not a walk in the park. I had a LOT of swelling (am still a bit swollen), and my neck looks worse than before because the swelling is taking a long time to subside AND because the real results are not at their peak until a few months after the procedure.

Dr Gray is qualified up the wazoo- California Medical Association, the San Francisco Medical Society, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS). He has numerous awards- awarded Best Doctors in America by Castle Connolly, America’s Top Surgeons by the Consumer Research Council of America, The Ultherapy Visionary Award, and has been featured as one of the best Plastic Surgeons in The San Francisco Bay Area. Ok, ENOUGH with the stuff you can get off his website. Let's talk turkey! Specifically, let's talk turkey neck . MY turkey neck. I went in for a consult and we decided the Thermi-Tight was the answer. . Dr G., is meticulous, thorough, and warm and is very obviously an expert at this. His wonderful assistant, Lallena (I am sure I am NOT spelling her name correctly) is EQUALLY wonderful and she is doing the Thermi-Smooth series and I HIGHLY recommend that for helping with the undereyes- I really see a difference. (I will post pics in a month or two when the improvements will really be noticeable. ) She is so sweet, so good at what she does, and Ashley in the front office is so very lovely and they are both walking advertisements for Dr G- they are beautiful and completely natural looking- just the way I want to look! Anyway, cannot recommend these folks more highly. I will be very sad when my beauty budget runs dry. Maybe I can work for treatments?

I am so glad that you decided to share your review, thank you! I would love it if you posted some progress photos, only if you are comfortable doing so. On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate the pain?

Hi Eva, I will post some pictures in a month or so when I feel that there has been real progress and I will find some pre-procedure pictures as well. iIn terms of pain there really wasn't any pain. Lying on your back for more than an hour while your face gets pushed and smushed around is not pleasant but it's not painful!

Sounds great, thank you :) 

I would like to see before and after pix, too. I am thinking of Thermitight or the Precision treatment vs a necklift, but I don't want to have any skin hanging once the fat is removed or any odd pockets under the chin-- which is what I have seen happen in a couple of reviews on this site. Your info is super important to share. Thank you!
Looking forward to your photos! I'm concerned that this may be one of the few honest reviews on this site about ThermiTight.
Hi I had the thermi tight done on 8/11/15 and I have a giggle under my chin and my neck looks creepy. I am so upset. I have a check up on Tuesday.
Please keep us posted on your progress
I will post photos soon..I am going to have me pre and post comparisons when I see Dr G soon- and don't worry Vickimc- this is not an instant results procedure!
Could we have an update please?
