Swelling and bruising under the chin last one to two weeks.
The treated area feels firm or lumpy for one to three months while the tissue settles.
Temporary numbness or a pulling sensation may continue for several weeks.
Irregularity of the skin surface or asymmetry can occur and may need touch-up treatment.
Burns, blistering, or pigment change from radiofrequency are rare but possible.
Infection is uncommon.
Results vary with skin quality and age. Patients with heavy skin laxity may not reach the same degree of tightening.
