Ultherapy: Q&A
Ask a Question
I Had My Ultherapy Done on Friday and my Face is Super Swollen Along with Major Numbness on Rightside. Is This Normal?
How long will it take to resolve? I would love some feedback. I was told it would go down in hours. Thank you for your help.

Complications from ultherapy skin facial lifting / tightening are very rare
Swelling occurs during the treatment and often goes away very quickly but rarely can last several days. Numbness is not impossible, but the extent is minimal usually and self-limiting as per the company's reports.Please address your concerns with the doctor who treated you.

Ultherapy Side Effects
Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to experience slight swelling for a few days, or tingling/tenderness to the touch for a few weeks following the procedure, but these are mild and temporary in nature.

Swelling and numbness can occur after Ultherapy but they are vey temporary
Swelling can occur after Ulthera but it is usually not excessive and is very temporary. It can last couple of days. Temporary numbness is not uncommon. There have been no reports of permanent numbness. To improve the swelling, keep your head elevated on a couple of pillow while you sleep.
