I had my procedure completed about 3 1/2 months ago and so far I haven't seen much of a change, which I have been really stressed about considering the financial and physical toll it has taken. I have read mixed reviews in regard to when the final results will take place and some have said between months 3-6, so I'm still maintaining some hope. I have always been very self conscious about the fat in my face. When my friends would post pictures on social media, seeing them would destroy me at least for that day. I had tried other, less invasive, procedures in the past like cool sculpting and kybella with no results, so I finally decided to go for it. I opted to be under local anesthesia so completely unconscious for the procedure, from which everything went smoothly and I awoke feeling fine. I have added a few pictures and a video of the procedure. As of right now I can't say whether or not I would recommend it, but I will continue to post updates.

5 months post op-no improvement
Jess_1018December 5, 2020
I am now 5 months post op but still zero improvement. I almost feel like maybe it’s worse. There’s so many mixed reviews out there and some people seem to have results in a month and some 6 months! Someone on this site mentioned having a seroma or serum under the skin making it look larger. I’m not sure what’s going on but I am very discouraged at the moment.

Have you seen any results yet? I'm only one week post op, but see no results and worried that I won't have any noticeable change either. So many others had noticeable results fairly quickly.

I would love to say I have but unfortunately I'm still pretty much the same as before. The only difference I can feel is in my actual neck. He went down to my collarbone and I can feel that my neck is thinner. But my actual sub mental area is still very full. I have another follow up appointment this month so I'll keep you posted on what they say

Have you seen any results yet. im also one week post op and see no change im feeling so discourage, i knw they said it can take up to 3 months but i have seen people can tell the difference in 1 week i see nothing :(

If it helps...i couldn't see a difference the first week after either.
I would guess it depends on how much fat you have. If your neck had a large amount of fat in it you can see a change even after 1 day. But if the amount of fat is lower you might see nothing because the area filled with fat is now filled with fluid.

I haven't yet :'( it's been 8 months and finally the surgeon acknowledged that there hasn't been any change. It's his belief that there is some scar tissue that formed which is preventing me from seeing results. This is a strong possibility in my opinion since I did try cool sculpting and kybella prior which can cause scar tissue to form and I'm prone to keyloids. I am still pretty numb on my left side and it seems there is pressure at times as if there is still fluid. I'm very nervous about going in for a second time since I know the first shot is the best one for getting the results you want with less chance of a complication, but if I don't do anything then it will be a lot of time, money and discomfort wasted without any result. My procedure is scheduled for Wednesday so fingers crossed!

Did u massage?

I didn't have it professionally done but I did do it myself and I continue to do it in the shower and it seems to help temporarily but overall I haven't seen much of a difference

Hi:) I hope that your appointment went well and that you feel better about how things will ultimately turn out. I really hate that you didn’t get the results that you were hoping for up to this point:( I wish you the best and look forward to hearing good news about your progress.

Thank you so much! I'm definitely nervous returning to the same provider but most doctors agree that it's best to try and work things out with the original doctor so I'm really hoping this time it's a different experience. I got in tomorrow for the second procedure and I will post some more updates!
March 3, 2021
I will keep my fingers crossed for you;) I hope all goes well and that you will be happy and heal quickly:)) sending you lots of good vibes, prayers, and wishes for a speedy and pain free recovery:)))

Almost 8 months post op
Jess_1018February 23, 2021
I had my final post op visit today and the doctor acknowledged there hasn’t been much improvement over the past several months. He mentioned that there may be scar tissue build up causing the remaining fullness and recommended I schedule another surgery to remove it. I’m definitely nervous about going through another procedure especially this time with a lot less optimism, but I feel like if I don’t then I’ll have no chance at all of getting results and the time and money I’ve spent will be for nothing. I have an appointment scheduled for next Wednesday for the second lipo procedure.

I'm really sorry for you that it ended up like this.
Does the doctor at least provide the revision for free?
You are probably right with saying that it won't get better at all if you don't at least try to somehow fix it. If you hate how you look with the scar tissure more than you fear of it looking worse than it might be a good option to have it removed.
I guess you best option is to speak to him about what he's going to do to fix the issue and ask him what the complications might be. If he say's that it can only get better from here maybe you should just do it.
I really hope that it will solve your problem and that you will be happy in the end!

Thank you so much for your kind words! The doctor seems confident that with the scar tissue removed I will get closer to the results I'm looking for. Just disappointing, I thought it was a pretty straight forward procedure. I got back tomorrow for the second procedure so hopefully it works out this time!

March 4, 2021
