There is absolutely no difference in my upper eyelids

ORIGINAL POST

Thermage

$4,500
I went in for thermage eyelid and face skin tightening. At Vip plastic surgery center office of Dr. Christopher Khorsandi. I paid $4500. There is absolutely no difference it upper eyelids and the only difference in my face is that it melted my under eye fat transfer i had which i paid $5500 for. I reached out the the office and made a follow up appointment about these issues and they said they would have the manager call me and nothing was ever done about it. I am out all the money and have pay to fix my under eyes now. If anyone is considering thermage i strongly advise not to have it done. It is a waste of money.

I'm so sorry. What a nightmare. It's disappointing they've not done anything/reached out to you. Was it $4,500 just for the eyes? That seems insanely high. The scary part about Thermage (which I didn't learn until afterwards) was the chance of fat loss. Did they warn you about this possible side effect?

I asked her if it would effect my fat transfer and she said absolutely not. She was firm on thermage does not melt fat. Well that the only thing i had done and it indeed melted my fat. The face was $3000 and the eyes were $1500

The office that did my thermage, they said no side effects, only benefits. (My first experience with anything) Afterwards, I had a dent of melted fat and the Dr. suddenly said: yes, fat melting, that's a rare side effect. I was furious. And it's not so rare apparently. I did have some benefits on my neck but I had some extra pudge....and it was melted. I wouldn't do it again that's for sure.

Never trust any provider, cosmetic or otherwise, that says "No side effects". There is always the potential of side effects, even with natural treatments.

Were you happy with your fat grafts under your eyes? Who did them? (I'm terrified of fillers underneath the eyes.)

Yes extremely happy i went to dr. Karam in San Diego. Also i have pain in my right eye ever since the thermage. I had a lot if pain that day and she said that was normal but it is still there. I haven't been to a specialist about it yet.

You were looking great before. Why would you even consider allowing anyone to touch your face??

I'm curious as to why a plastic surgeon wouldn't recommend am upper blepharoplasty? That would be standard to reduce holding like that. Thermage isn't going to remove skin...

Thank you so much for this review! I almost did this treatment at their office before I found out they're using the old thermage platform the CPT (which is known to melt fat) versus the newest and updated model the FLX.
