49 is such a funny age...one minute you're on top of the world, and the next one you're trying to put the pieces back together again. I've been having more good days than bad lately, so I figured that I'd share some of that positivity. Have a great weekend!

Need to update with a heavy heart..

I feel an obligation to post a review almost eleven months later. I was really thrilled with my results at first...it definitely tightened my skin and I felt the best about myself last summer than I could ever remember feeling. Fast forward to now. I've been fiddling around with my face for months, doing little things here and there, just fillers and in very small amounts, but I couldn't put my finger on what was bothering me until now. My daughter mentioned something to me about my double chin, and I asked her what she was talking about...I thought she was teasing me, because my kids love to tease me. But she said that she was serious, and showed me several pictures that she had taken of me. I definitely have sagging now, and I think that Ultherapy does indeed tighten the skin, but after the tightening effect diminishes, the fat loss becomes apparent. So essentially I'm back to square one minus some fat that my face could have used.
Everyone wants to believe that there is the next latest and greatest procedure that stops the clock, and this has become such a popular one that I discounted all the horror stories, thinking that they must have been operator dependent. But I don't think they are now. We just need some long term studies done on the potential pitfalls of these new procedures BEFORE they hit the masses. I don't think that anything can replace surgery, and something that sounds too good to be true probably is.
I sincerely hope that I'm in the minority here and that everyone is feeling beautiful, at least on the inside, because that's where it really counts.

I still think you look great. I never did try il therapy because of the things I saw about fat loss. I have been using Accent for years with very good tesults
April 2, 2015
Sorry. It went before I was finished plus a typo. Sorry. I meant results. I just get touch ups once a year with a treatment and no fat loss
April 2, 2015
Thanks...I really appreciate it. I wanted to do the accent but I have a dental implant and apparently that was a contraindication. I am trying to do little things every day that make me feel good about myself...can't change the past but trying to learn for the future!!!
April 2, 2015
OMG girl, I am seeing sag too. I was wondering what the hell but now it makes total sense. Now I'm pissed too. What is accent??
April 2, 2015
It uses radio frequency instead of ultrasound to firm skin, and it's been around a lot longer. Where are you seeing it? OMG...we're both going to drive ourselves nuts!!! Xoxo

Thanks for sharing your journey. i have been put off ultherapy because of the lat loss concerns. Would like to try something though before the inevitable neck lift.
How is your husband, as I read he had a lump in his throat (sorry if you have explained, but I haven't read all of your posts!)
April 3, 2015
You are quite welcome Eva...it was my intent to be as truthful as I could, and I felt like I needed to put it out there. Thank you for asking about my husband...he is doing wonderfully after the surgeon removed a benign mass the size of a fist that was compressing his esophagus. That was in September and he is like a new person now...in fact, we both are. Life is good :)

The sides of my mouth on down and under my chin. HATEEEEE IT!!!
April 3, 2015
I hate it too, although you look great...I've seen your pics and you look amazing!!

Hi I'm not sure if you are still on RS but I had ulthearpy and know I have sinusitis, did you have sinus issues before ulthearpy
April 3, 2015
hi Did you ask your PS about this? I am considering but I already have a small face, I need all the fat I can get!!!
April 4, 2015
I haven't Mel...I no longer see the doctor who did the procedure. I will ask my current PS about it...if he has any insight, I will post it!! Going on Wednesday...
April 11, 2015
Hi Mel...got so caught up with asking questions about my sinuses that I forgot to ask him. However, I do remember speaking with him about it the first time I saw him back in September and he told me he doesn't offer it because the results are not worth the cost and that he believes other subtle changes with different types of filler can yield the same results...hope this helps!!

I really appreciate your post, I'm am 45 and really want to slow down the aging process! I was seriously looking into Ultherapy, hoping I would have amazing results. I believe I really need to have a neck lift to obtain results I'm looking to achieve, so thank you for sharing! Wishing you the best! ☺️

You are welcome...I hope that you are thrilled with whatever you decide to do!!!

Thank you for your honest comments and photos. I'm scheduled for Ultherapy next week, after spending a couple of years trying to decide if it would help lift my sagging jowls. I've had cosmetic surgery on my eyes and nose, and I haven't been 100% satisfied with the results of either -- so Ultherapy seems like a better option for me that going under the knife to lift my lower face. I only hope my results are as noticeable and positive as yours. Thanks again for sharing.

Thank you for you brave and educational series! You look lovely and S/p procedure more dynamic and energetic. Go to all my Sisters in Beauty!
September 10, 2014
wow thank you so much for this wonderful shared treatment. I learned so much. And you look so beautiful! You have to be so happy! you really look natural and youthful. Lovely!
September 10, 2014
Thank you so much...I feel younger and self esteem is back again...can't put a price on that!!! I am so happy I put my story out there and that I helped in whatever way I could. Blessings to you xoxo

Thank you for sharing! I am going in for a consultation next week here in Newport beach with dr. Grover. Would you please just post one before pic and one after? I would appreciate it! Thank you! How would you rate your results on a scale of 1-10?
September 19, 2014
Hi Lisa...On a scale of 1-10...I would say an eight. I have before and afters posted on September 2nd...tried to add them here and couldn't. Good luck with your consult..I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!

Hi Jill. I saw Dr Samara. Is so nice and very professional. I'm not doing Ultherapy there but having him remove lipoma and some lipo touchup on my arms after my wedding. He did not do the original lipo I think I might have him do my Botox for future and fillers if needed. He's very knowledgeable and didn't rush and answered all my question. Good choice. And for the hater on here she sounds like a miserable hag so ignore her comments to you. Thxs
September 10, 2014
Glad you liked him Tipjo...and I agree with your assessment of the hater!!! It's all good though and hope everything you have done turns out super-well!!! Xoxo

You look so very AWESOME Jill! Thank you for your very informative summary and review! I, too, am just turning 48 on 9-28, and have noticed "jowls"! Ugly little critters! So, I am going to my doctor for a consultation. After seeing your photos with Juvederm, I am going to discuss that with her as well! I think you look beautiful and it is so very refreshing to have someone post positive, uplifting information/review! Ignore the haters… the haters hate, that's what they do! I connected with your posts on a very personal level, so I just wanted to let you know how appreciated it is from this soon-to-be 48 girl! Hugs and ….. YOU GO GIRL!
September 26, 2014
Thanks Java...you made me laugh...jowls ARE ugly little critters!!! I wish you the happiest of birthdays and the best of luck with whatever you decide to do. 48 is just a number...it's what you do with it that counts. If you can, please post your journey and, as always, ignore the haters!!
Peace and love,
Jill
