25 F | Chin Lipo + Renuvion Skin Tightening

3 Months post op:

Its been three months since my procedure and it has been really nice not dealing with my biggest insecurity anymore. After about a month and a half, I stopped wearing a head wrap, but I do find myself wanting to reach for it here and there. I still feel like I am a little swollen, but research says thats to be expected.

Now there were a few things I noted throughout the healing phase that raised an eyebrow:

1. i believe the renuvion left me with a dark line against the jawline (hyperpigmentation); it doesn't look terrible but it's not quite natural either; i don't love it but i dont hate it since it does just look like a contour line especially in dark settings. im curious to know or see if anyone else who tans easily or is darker skinned has had this issue and if it fades.

2. facial hair growth + tiny bumpies under my ears

I experienced an excess amount of hair growth in my overall chin area. I wasn't sure if it was bc of my PMOS flare-up or if it was due to the stimulation in the area bc of surgery; totally unsure

3. Minimal fibrosis

I had some hardness during that first month, but after that it started feeling really soft again; at 3 months I don't feel any fibrosis, but i will say i still feel tightness in the neck area where i got tightening done, although its getting less tight as time passes.

4. Twinges in the chin and neck

One thing I noticed when i was walking outside in the heat that first month was that i would get twinges of shock or sensations in my neck and it would feel weird. I avoided exerting energy when that would happen. it was very common those first 4 weeks; at 3 months i only feel it when its extremely hot and im sweating/high heart rate (especially outside) I assume it's nerve endings but still an odd thing to feel.

Overall, this experience has been great; recovery was easy, and despite being a little uncomfortable due to the headwraps, totally worth it. I'm looking forward to continued healing and will hopefully update as time goes on. The Renuvion does take 3-6months to fully heal, and I would appreciate some extra snatching, but for now it looks 100x better than it did and I'm happy.
