Hello All, I'm a 52-year-old female and am scheduled for a ThermiTight procedure tomorrow morning for my neck and jowls. I'm extremely nervous. I've been prescribed Xanax though I can't take them until the morning - I'd like to take them now, and then again in the morning!
Originally I was interested in a lower face lift and CO2 laser - though I can't schedule the recovery time into my calendar until late next year. So, I'm hoping the Thermi-tight will be a huge success and tide me over for many years.
I'd appreciate any encouragement and news of success stories!
Thanks so much!
PS - I'll likely post before and after photos in the future.

I've had my ace bandage on for two days, taking it off only to wash. I'm off to lunch so I'm barefaced today (other than a bit of makeup). I'm definitely swollen (jowls) with lots of vertical wrinkles on my neck. I believe this is expected as the tissue has undergone trauma and while is swollen, it is also being compressed by the bandage. Once let free it relaxes. I think (hope) this is one of those procedures where it looks worse before it looks better.
Stabbing pain in the left chin/jowl area - the same place I felt the pinching during the procedure, that I'm managing with Tylenol. Slightly bruised in that area as well.
I'll keep you posted!

Day three and still significant swelling. My neck feels tight and itchy though not uncomfortable. I'm starting Arnica Montana gel today.

I am curious to see after photos! I just had this treatment yesterday ... I'm 49 and my neck looked similar to yours. Would you mind sharing post treatment photos?!

I've posted photos but please keep in mind I'm only at day three. I have to believe it gets better!
luxx66, I'd love to see your photos too!

Other than a pinch or two on the left hand side, I felt no pain. What I did feel is tugging, and a sort of crunching noise as the cannula went through my skin. That was the worst part. It was over in under and hour, my incisions were stitched, and along with my ace bandaged face I went merrily on my way home.
Now that the numbing has subsided the only pain I have is an ache on the left hand side of my face comparable with a dental procedure - though it's totally tolerable.
When I peeked beneath my ace bandage I could see no discernible difference though I didn't expect to.
At the end of day, so far, I'm glad I went through with it.
I'll keep you posted!
