$2,500

I had thermage in January 2008. It caused me a lot of irregularities in my face and my fat has gone. I also have a hole in my right cheek. My friends now are asking me if I have a serious illness. Unfortunatelly I did not read this web page before. Please do not do that

I had it done on my double chin area and was totally amazed at the results. The key is to not have unrealistic expectations! Its not a magic wand!!!
I dont understand "urealistic expectations" as conclusion of victims reporting the different heat based servere damages. When you - dear Kerry McGill - could see our damages from Thermage you never would write such lines. Its no game its a desaster!
My experience with Thermage was terrible. The pain was unbelieveably bad, and I have a really high tolerance. Also, it literally dissolved all my facial fat layer, and, after a few months, I looked like my face had melted . It was the most horrifying thing. I had basically good skin, but just wanted a tiny bit of tightening. It did just the opposite, and after about a year, I went to see a plastic surgeon, who did a face lift with cheek implants to restore me to how I looked before Thermage. If you are an overweight person, and losing fat is beneficial, then perhaps you would be a better condidate. I hadn't been informed of this side effect unfortunately. I don't think I could recommend this to anyone frankly, and I shudder to think back on the whole horrible episode in my life. I had some pretty bad emotional problems from it. After four years, I am finally coming to terms with the whole thing, but it has been a difficult journey -- all because of a stupid decision on my part to not investigate the proceedure more carefully!
Wow! Thank you for sharing! I was thinking of doing this procedure. I will not risk my face to something like this. Do you know if the results on the body are better?
i am so sorry i wish you well
same thing. My whole face and forehead and neck are very loose now. If you want to firm your skin do facial exercises. I feel like a complete idiot cuz I will probably have to live with this for the rest of my life. Still searching for a permanent solution but so far all I can find are temporary fixes. Please comment if anybody's bounced back from this naturally.
