I hate my neck

I’ve recently started RF tightening treatments (Thermalift is one of the ‘name brands’) on my neck and face. I’ve had two treatments and I haven’t noticed a difference, but three is usually considered the minimum and 10-12 is the norm.

I was excited by before and after pics online. But last treatment my technician was excited to show me another patient she considers a huge success. The difference was much more subtle than I had hoped!

I’ll continue to go for the 10 treatments at least. At least it’s far more affordable than plastics!

Before and after pics, lol? Not necessarily your face (I stay clear of facial posts myself), but maybe an non-identifying snap of the neck area?

Yeah bat wings and flying squirrel thighs, I am becoming a real zoo with my turtle neck and basset hound cheeks. But ya know, 111 pounds lost since surgery , just call me the Zookeeper!

LMBO!!! You are too much!!!

Here you go

It’s really hard to know if I’m holding my head/neck at the same angle. I think it looks like there is more of a difference than their really is

Before. - After 1 treatment. - After 2 treatments

I'll see your Scrawny Neck bet and raise you emaciated old lady forearms, they are do thin they look l8je a skeleton with a thin layer of easy- bruis3 skin. And I am now bruising in areas I swear i I never bumped. Old age, no fat layer anymore or is my blood chemistry skewed? Know I was already an Iron INFUSION in March, wonder if this will be a quarterly event? If so, shouldnt somebody be ordering me a blood lab? We reach June the end 9f this week, and I think my Bariatric Clinic is beginning to neglect me, no visit scheduled until August , when I will be 11 months past Surgery.vMaybe since I'm this far out I am no longer interesting? Lets take care,of the New Surgeries, let Frustr8,swing in the breeze somewhere, kinda feel like I've been hung and nobody wants to cut down my body! I am nearly down to Onderland, And the only people,interested are,my Peeps on Bariatric Pal. Am I right to feel slightly neglected?

Definitely a big difference.

YAAS.. sign me up!! Looks a lot different

[Frustr8 7,886]

I did already, not visited much but it's still there if anyone remotely interested. Only answered this one because I thought I had a point of view to add. Bye Bye , dear!

Dude. I totally see a difference! Tell me this RF treatment costs thousands less than the $9.5 CDN (~$7K USD) my surgeon quoted me....

My neck looks TERRIBLE. I hate it so much. It’s all deflated and you can see the tendons so I look like I’m 90. I’m getting a neck lift as soon as I hit goal weight

I hope it's working ... I honestly can't really tell

Definitely cheaper than plastics! Total for 10 or so treatments, neck and face, will be about $1K

Now I'm off to research this treatment and see where its offered in my area!

(Man, losing weight hurts the wallet! New clothes, shoes, makeup products, plastic surgery, facial/skin treatments...yikes.)
