I Had Ulthera Done 3 Days Ago, but I Don't Feel Any Soreness or Tightening at All. Normal?

If I don't feel any soreness or tightening after 4 days of Ulthera, does that mean it is not working at all. My other friends all had strong soreness and a tightening feeling but I have absolutely NONE. I also don't see any effect, actually today my face is more saggy than before the procedure. Very disappointed and worried I totally wasted my money as it is expensive (and very painful)!

You will have to be patient for six monts to see the improvement. Unfortunately not all patients will receive a great result and there are those who did not feel sore afterwards who have great results and those that did feel sore that can't see significant improvement. ... more
