Because my lower face sagged due to cheek and buccal fat, I had InMode FX. My buccal fat was enough to get caught between my teeth. As I understand it, FX reduces or destroys fat cells, while Forma lifts and tightens the skin. I wondered whether I needed both, but the doctor said Forma was mainly for skin texture and unnecessary for my needs, and that was right. I had a full-face treatment for about 15 minutes. Around day 5, there was less resistance from the fat when I smiled, and my sagging jawline lifted. My face looked like it had after losing about 4 kg. I could really feel the difference in the mirror! I am bad with pain and heat, easily frightened, and had heard InMode was extremely painful, so I was terrified, but it was more tolerable than expected. There was occasionally a warm sensation, and under my chin it sometimes felt like it might hurt but did not. The doctor said the settings would be painful on my face at that level and praised me for tolerating it well. I was not enduring anything—I simply did not find it painful haha. I did not have much concern about a double chin, but perhaps the area under my chin hurt because it had less fat. If your issue is fat rather than bone, I recommend InMode. There are many reviews about its effect on double chins, but fewer about the area above the jaw, from the cheekbones to the cheeks and buccal fat, so I hesitated. The effect was quite good!! However, after a facial-contouring consultation and CT, I was told that the entire area of my face was formed by bone, so I decided on contouring surgery... No matter how much fat I reduced, I could not reach the point I wanted. I wrote this because I could not sleep at dawn. In conclusion, I could feel improvement in my cheeks and buccal fat even without much concern about a double chin. If you objectively have a lot of thick, pinchable facial fat and are only avoiding it because you are afraid it will hurt, I recommend trying it once.
