Absolutely Horrible

UPDATED FROM Reserved4971

Getting better

12 days since fat grafting but too soon to know the final outcome. They say it takes at least 3 -6 months for final outcome. Trying to stay hopeful. I would never ever recommend Thermage ! I am more than happy to update anyone if interested. If I can help anyone or stop them from making the same mistake I did...... it would make me feel better as well

I had thermage with a so called reputable provider. I. Look forward to the day these people have to answer for their cavalier approach to life changing mistakes. My damage was minimal in comparison to some but life changing nevertheless. Still trying to get filler to help with hollow cheeks and sagging areas to to volume loss. Added to which the person who did it and maintained a semblance of recovery through restylane now is too busy to fit me in to her schedule and another person in the clinic used a canular to inject volume to the temple area. I woke up with the worse ptosis and hooded eye. I believe the levator muscle has been affected and even a blepharoplasty wouldn't totally fix it. I'm now looking for help to assess and repair or improve that eye. It's so bad that there is no accountability.
I feel your pain. Where do you go for fat transfer, it looks good?

Hi there,

your story sounds horrible. I just had a call for planning an intake for a Thermage FLX treatment. I will have the intake on 28th August. They claim to guarantee good results, they won't do the treatment if they don't expect amazing results..... Your story makes me scared... but is it the same as the Thermage FLX?

Let me know how yours goes because I have also been thinking about getting thermage FLX at laser away

This treatment just isn’t a good option for everyone. If your face is more full, it may work just fine. At my age, it wasn’t good and had an adverse outcome. I’m doing a lot better now but it’s been time and a lot of work to rebuild the elasticity and volume. I wish you the best

Thank you very much for being so brave and sharing. In my early 50s and don't like the skin under my chin (turkey neck, I think it's called). I'd just heard about Thermage and at the beginning of my research on it. I hope things work out for you and wanted to let you know you have definitely helped me. Thank you again.

You are welcome . I am 52 and it just wasn’t good for my older skin and I believe the woman didn’t know what she was doing. I try and find things to build and strengthen instead of break down to build collagen. I’m in a good place now. Good luck !

Looks much better, IMO. Can always add volume.

Thermage destroyes left side

Decided to show picture after thermage to help others know the severity of what could happen. Just not worth the risk. Notice all fat gone under left cheek bone and this was after syringe of filler...

I had similar fat loss damage and whole face sagging after HIFU destroyed my face and tissue strength

I’m so sorry....It sucks something sold as non-evasive and easy could do such enormous damage. Not a day goes by I wish I could go back and not do it. It has killed my self-esteem and can’t seem to get back to where I was but will keep trying ...... I will help or listen to anyone who needs it. I understand

Thank you for sharing I hope you can manage to completely reverse the damage.

Thanks so much for sharing that. I have been researching and the internet is flooded with ads promoting these procedures and no honest mention of what can go wrong
