Swelling gone!

WORTH IT$5,100
The swelling under my neck is gone and I no longer feel the tightness! Every so often I have some tightness around the back of my ears but I've noticed that's more on days where I've had more sodium. I'm still seeing improvement in my skin, between the dermapen treatments and laser, my skin has really improved, far beyond what I even hoped for! Everyone who has seen me has been complimenting my hair, asked if I'm losing weight, and what I get the most?...What are you using on your skin?! My scars look fantastic! And I've even been wearing my hair up! I'd do it all over in a heartbeat! I couldn't ask for a better Dr.

I am looking at the same procedure as you! How are you doing today? Please send us an update :)

I'm doing great! I'm still seeing improvement with my skin from the laser resurfacing. I had very little bruising or swelling, and recovery has been fairly easy. I'd do it all over again! No questions asked. Have you seen anyone yet?!

I haven't a seen anyone yet. I have two consults 3 rd week of sept and I have been researching doctors like a mad woman! The hardest part is knowing who to see. I'm going to get at least 2-4 opinions. People have such mixed results and I am a believer it's really dependent on the skill of the doctor. Anyways, I want your result!! Lol. Wish me luck and I will keep you posted. After I decide on the procedure I will post my before and after too :)

You look AMAZING! I am about to be 39 and looking to do the same surgery with chin implant. Much of what I have found made patients look older by pulling to tight (scary). You look like you are in your twenties! It is hard to find quality info on younger patients experience. I live in Texas, but after seeing your work will consider your doctor. Really amazing work.

I took this today! It shows the minor swelling I still have underneath the chin and the lighting shows my skin better! My skin is still improving and I see slight changes everyday. There is still tightness in my neck but I'm okay with it! I just remind myself that this to shall pass, lol!

Very nice!!!

It's been a couple of months. Still happy?
June 26, 2014
Yes! My skin looks even better now and the tightness in my neck is almost completely gone. The swelling under my chin is pretty much gone. I still have some numbness around my ears but I don't even notice anymore. The scars look great too! Who knew scars could look great?! lol! I'm beyond happy with the results and am still noticing slight changes. I'll probably do one more laser treatment on my skin in Nov/Dec and I have continued doing the dermapen treatments, those have made a huge difference in my skin too.

Time is just flying by! My face is healing and the scaring looks great!! It's barely visible! I still have some slight swelling but I know that's normal. I'm still seeing changes in my face and skin everyday, and couldn't be happier! I can't really say that I've had a day yet where I thought "what have I done?!" Reading all the stories here helped me so much and Dr. Bigelow and her staff have just been amazing with the follow up care! I can't wait to see what changes the next few weeks bring!!

That you for that encouragement... I guess those of us who tent to smile big should be prepared for it to be a little subdued as we are healing! I am so glad to hear that yours is coming back! :D
