Feeling Remorse with Disappointing Results - 4 Days Post Treatment
jrapierSeptember 22, 2019
The Nurse Practitioner that treats me for botox offered to do instalift for 1/2 price for her to train. I requested to only do my neck and jawline, but was told I would have to do my face to get the jaw to lift. She did 8 threads. The National trainer was present. It was painful (and I had anxiety) so they kept injecting me with lidocaine. Too many injections to count. Half my face paralyzed from one of the injections behind my ear. I now have pain going down my neck from behind my ear. I still have mild numbness on my scalp where the threads came out.
I did not notice an instant result except that I had puckers and ripple. I was told that would go away in 24 hours. It hasn't. I stayed in bed 4 days, slept sitting up on my back, iced often, ate lots of fresh pineapple, and took arnicare tablets. 4 days post treatment, I still feel it did not bring improvement. Am I judging too soon? I am extremely sore, and I can feel the threads to the touch in areas of my face under the skin.
I understand collagen will build over time, but I'm concerned

I have had this procedure (never 8 threads though) I remember the first time being pretty upset with the puckers. It did take almost a week before they went away and oh the bruising!! Mine was done by a Plastic Surgeon and she had done many before. I would give it some more time, hopefully the national trainer had a good eye for this. The first time I had this done, I was not satisfied with the result and neither was the provider, so she gave me an additional thread on one side and suddenly everything fell into place. Since then I have gotten a second one 2 threads jaw and neck and it is perfect. Good luck , I hope your result was improved

Thanks so much for the info! Maybe another thread or two will do the trick. I had 7 not 8. I was out of it..sorry! I really appreciate you taking time to respond!

I’ve had threading twice a few years apart. Result short lived and not worth the money with the minor result short lived results I got. I was disappointed.
