33 Years Old, Goodbye Genetic Double Chin! - Winston Salem, NC

WORTH IT$3,725
I hated my double chin. I hated my profile. I never realized that my jawline was slowly disappearing until seeing photos that other people had taken of me. I am 33, 5'5" and 150 pounds. I used to be about 130-140 pounds for most of my life and then my metabolism dropped as soon as I hit my 30s. So sad :(
Anyway, after checking out this website and visiting with a local plastic surgeon, I felt that chin lipo was the best route to get the best results. I didn't want to spend thousands on things like coolsculpting only to get a fraction of the results. I stayed awake for this procedure to save $650 and I actually liked that I was alert the whole time. I took pain pills beforehand and the doctor numbed the area before the actual surgery. The numbing process was by far the most painful but it only lasted 30 seconds. The whole procedure took about an hour. Right now I am just past 48 hours and I can already see a difference! No more double chin!!

Clarification on procedure
I had the Precision Smart Lipo Triplex. From what I understand, that is just the name of the laser that is used for the neck/chin area. It helps to tighten the skin after the fat is removed. Tomorrow I go back to the doctor for an ultrasound although I am not sure why....that part was not explained before I had the procedure. Here are pictures from this morning. The double chin is definitely gone but I don't see much of a change from yesterday. All of those lines on my skin are from the head garment that I have been wearing 24/7. There is bruising under the head garment area. I think that is from the garment pushing in my skin while I sleep sitting up.

I just had this done in Korea on the 8th. I have to wear this d*** compression wrap for a full week. I'm surprised you are able to take it off. Do you still wear it at all? I've read so many different things about how long to wear it. I'm sure it depends on the doctor and how much fat was removed.

I hated that garment at first. Yes it was too tight because I was so swollen and the neck part doesn't really fit well. My doctor said to wear it for the first 3 days then as much as possible for 6 weeks. I am on week 3 and it is too loose on me now so it does nothing.

Seeing improvements
Here are some updated photos with makeup. I used to contour under my jaw and chin with bronzer. This is my makeup with real shadows. No more contouring with makeup!!

Wow! looks great. Did you have a lot of bruising? I want this done so badly, and am curious about how long and how much bruising. I need to find someone in the NJ area. I will be following your progress.

Thanks for the question! My doctor gave me natural supplements Bromelain and Arnica to take before and after the procedure. They really helped reduce almost all bruising. The only bruising I had was on my lower neck from the compression garment. It looked like I had a big hickey. It didn't last that long and it was easy to cover with makeup and/or a scarf. I didn't have any bruising on my face or the top part of my neck. I'll keep updating my post with my results. I can already say it was worth it. I no longer have a double chin and I don't have to use makeup to contour my jawline. Thanks for reading :)
