Down Time for Recovery a Lot More Than Expected

I notice a difference, Im less jowly for sure. Not sure if it shows in the photos though!. I had 10 sessions of Indiba radiofrequency treatment in the face & jaw area which treats flaccidity. You can make your own mind up if my series of treatments worked.

Its been 3 weeks since the thread lift.I had tension threads in my jaw line to treat jowls. I didnt train or do my usual sports activities for 10 days after the treatment. Due to how the jaw will clench with sports & fitness training I was advised to wait a minimum of 7 days and better to wait for 10 days. I dont expect to see a big change in my jaw line until probably 2 months after so that will be from July. I will post before and after photos if you want to follow my progress. I've learned that this is not a easy treatment and that the threads you get vary. I got tension threads and what also exists are threads to improve collagen production only. Anyone know different, please comment below as this is what I am lead to believe. I also learned that the threads vary in quality and dimension, so they arent all the same what each clinic uses. I got a puckering of my skin both sides near my ears. Most prominently in my right side which I have photographed. My Doctor told me thats normal but will fade in time. I understand from comments here that not everyone gets that with this treatment so I dont know why my Doctor was ok with it. My Doctor Dr. Juan Enrique Perez Enriquez is an award winning Doctor and I've used him for years and trust him a lot. Its been 3 weeks since my treatment and I'm still sleeping with the neck pillow, the travel neck pillow. Its still sensitive on that right side. I also wanted to give myself the best opportunity for the best results so I followed the guidance to a t. The guidance was to not strain the jaw line and not sleep on my side for at least 10 days minimum. Im going to start Ultherapy and collagen supplement (from eggshell) in the next week or so. This is to help the collagen production in my jaw line and to help get better results. So, my before and after photos, when I post them in July will be with the Ultherapy and Collagen in conjunction with the thread lift. I hope this update helps any of you reading thanks.

Its been a week since I had the tension threads. It is still tender to touch the area where the incision is and the area is still puckered or wrinkled where the incision is. I include a photo and you can see one close to the ear and the other is a small indentation lower. Im not supposed to sleep on my side and so am sleeping with one of those travel pillows around my neck. Its not great obviously to have to sleep like this. I weight train and am very physical with gym training and can do none of that this past week. The past two days I've worked with very light weights only. My Doctor recommended nothing that strains the jaw area such as weight training would cause to happen. Its been a hell of a week really. For example, last weekend, a day or two after the procedure I was carrying a shopping bag and felt the pull in my jaw and it hurt. I sure hope this turns out to be worth it. I will post updated photos of before and after. I've definitely taken it super easy. My job involves me to have to talk a lot taking phone calls from clients. However thankfully I have an option to only text type answering text/email and not to take calls. So this week my phone was off with my cutting out all the talking I generally do. I honestly feel I'd have hurt myself if I had to talk a lot or for any length a few days after this procedure. I was chatting for about an hour yesterday and I felt it in my jaw after for example.
