WORTH IT$3,500
First off It needs to be explained that not only did I get a ThermiTight procedure, but I also had my buccal fat removed. The cost listen reflects the total of both procedures, with the ThermiTight being about 1/3 of the total cost.
I originally came in for lip suction of the face and buccal fat removal, but Dr. Ransom took the time to explain some less invasive options that would give me the same, or even better, results. He told me about a new device he was getting called ThermiTight (also know by ThermiSmooth ). I really liked this option because it was much cheaper and less invasive that normal liposuction where you have to go under anesthesia. I decided to go with this option.
Before I did the ThermiTight, I had my Buccal fat removed. This was an easy, in office procedure that only required local anesthetic. The procedure went very well, especially because my Buccal fat did not just come out like a ball as you see in the you tube videos. My Buccal fat was more like a sheet and needed to be clipped away in small pieces, which is much more time consuming and it is supposed to be more irritating. Dr. Ransom handled this like the pro that he is. The procedure did not take any longer than the scheduled appointment and he got out as much as possible (without making my look too overdone). The follow up visits were also wonderful because he would inject me with a cortisone solution that makes the scars diminish. After two follows at about a month apart, I cannot see or feel where the incisions were made.
After about a month, I was ready to do the ThermiTight. This is also done under local anesthetic and I did not feel a thing. I think I even feel asleep during the procedure. Basically all he needed were two incisions behind the ear and one under my chin. Then he uses a cannula type device to reach under the skin. This device uses Radio Frequency that specifically heats up and destroys fat cells and you body naturally gets rid of the released fatty oils. The RF also does wonders for tightening the skin (liposuction does not do this). After the surgery I felt great with no lingering pain. I wore a head and under-chin band for about 10 days to keep everything in place. I had really good results from the ThermiTight and I am so glad that I did not go through with liposuction.
Since the ThermiTight gives you the best results over time, I have had 2 follow up appointments and everything is as expected. I can also see the difference after the initial treatment, at the 1 month mark and at the 4 month mark. My results will continue to get better up to the 1 year point!
