Wtf happened to my neck? Horrifying

so not do this treatment. It has done things to my neck I coukdnt even imagine not to mention that something is going on in my chin. I’m starting to get vertical lines on it and I have to think it has something to do with it becasue my chin has been super numb and inflamed under the skin.

Hi I am sorry if you are not happy with your results, I am confused are you NOT HAPPY with your results because you have it marked as 5 stars? Did you do that so people would read it maybe? I came over here from another persons review who said this Dr was the one to fix botched people I have scarring that I am desperately trying to find someone to treat. I am hoping that you are happy with your results or that they become good with time.

Well I was happy at first but not anymore. I haven’t updated my review because I still see him in a couple weeks at my 6 month mark and I’ll see what he does then. I mean, it could just be my luck or he could have gone too aggressive with the lipo and the thermi didn’t work which left sagging and weirdness. I think that’s what happened. I think any result I got was from lipo and not thermi. I feel like since the thermi didn’t work or something went wrong I should be given the option for him to try something else but if he doesn’t offer or if he continues to say it looks good when it clearly doesn’t then I will change my review.

And when I say at first I meant like the first day or two... it all went down hill from there. He’s a nice guy but aren’t most?

You are pretty and still very young. You will trade a tighter neck with some scars around the ear for a neck lift. Your neck can still be tighten up by some more neck exercises. Best wishes!

Haha thanks, but there’s no way my neck can be tightened up with exercise. It hangs like a turkey. I do agree that I am too young for a neck lift but I can have a turkey neck ... and an unusual one at that in my 30’s :( thank for your the best wishes

What did the doctor have to say? Did he have any plan to make it right

No he said nothing. He kept telling me to come back that it takes time well...It’s been 18 months. The procedure aged me like crazy...I have jowls like never before and an old saggy neck... also I have nerve or tissue damage all over the treatment area to my upper lip. Makes me feel suicidal because I’m assuming it should be all healed by now. I need to call the dr and see if he wants to finally make this situation right. I can’t believe I sprang 4500 to mess up my own face. It’s crazy

That's really disappointing he didn't try and make it right.

Thanks Alissa. Very sweet of you to say. Right now I’m researching neck lifts which is scary but I have to fix my neck. The Dr recently told me I they would do Ultherapy to see if that helps but I decided against it. The benefit doesn’t outweigh the risk in my opinion.

I am sorry this happened to you. My results having ThermiTight w/ micro liposuction are very VERY very similar. I was looking for a solution to my stubborn double chin after massive weight loss. I am in my 30's as well. I originally wanted Kybella, but the doctor convinced me ThermiTight with micro liposuction would be better. I am 13 months post op and was told it would only get better. It has not. The doctor said Ultherapy may help, but with my bad results I declined. Now I am looking into plastic surgery to fix my neck. It is extremely depressing to the point where all I can focus on is my mangled neck, platysma bands and uneven double-ish chin. How is everything with you now? Did you find a solution? Thanks for your review and glad I am not alone in this. Take care.

Hi. I’m wondering if it got better with time? I’m two months out and I look deformed. They keep telling me I have to wait for it to heal but they never prepared me for this! I’m embarrassed I paid for this! I have long hair so I try to hide my neck/jawline. So disappointed…

Pictures kind of explain where I’m at. Still very unhappy of course. My neck looks super weird and the nerves in my face and neck are still very inflamed and annoyed. Feels like I have a thick layer of stick all over my face that I can’t wipe off. Hoping it’s not permanent but it probably won’t be.. at least this bad.
