Ultherapy - Portland, OR

meant to say: "glad to hear you are satisfied with at least some of the results." ^-^

hi coco - i'm glad to hear i live in the area and would be interested to know who your doctor was. i have developed a "sunken look" in my mid-face over the last year or 2 and have been told that fillers would be the best way to address that. sounds like you have used synthetic fillers too? i wonder if you would be willing to send photos in a private message? thanks!

i should add that the post-photos they took 2 (or 3?) months later really showed no improvement. The minor changes the post pics i took may have simply been due to different camera, angles and lighting.

it has been a year since i had the procedure and i think i will take more pics and post them. perhaps there has been improvement since then.

I agree re the doctor. After telling me that part of what ulthera would do was rebuild collagen (which should have the effect of not just tightening but adding fullness) when i reported that i saw absolutely no siginifcant change (and the pics they took showed none either) he tried to tell me that if i had wanted fullness I should have gone with a filler. The fact that he tried to insist there were changes when we were looking at the photos right in front of us that indicated NONE was ridiculous but also incredibly arrogant and bullying. I finally got him to offer me some concession (but not covering anywhere near the cost of the procedure) and he acted as if he were doing me a huge favor and that I was the one trying to rip him off. I found him so off-putting that i have not actually redeemed the services he offered. frankly I was also concerned he would intentionally screw them up! I may still go in (it's been months since i called him on this), but am still not sure it's a good idea.
