My daughter is getting married in the fall, and I started researching things I could do for a tightening of the neck area. I thought that the only option was going to be plastic surgery, which i was to afraid to do, when i stumbled onto ultherapy. I like that it was FDA approved, and I had my sister, who is a nurse, go with me to 2 doctors to interview them. I chose Dr. Hazen in Princeton, even though it was a hike for me. I liked her board certification and the fact that she did the procedure. It was not as painful as I expected. There were 2 areas that hurt, in the apple of my checks, and jawline, but it is so quick, like a millisecond, and its over, and even that pain was not severe. The next day I woke up sore and numb, not horrible, but i noticed it, and I could feel where the injection sites for the pain killer were. I noticed 2 small bruises on my neck and jawline 3 days post procedure, but easily covered with makeup. Mostly my face kind of feels like its been to the gym. You know that feeling when you work a body part and the next day its kind of tight there, that is the feeling with my face. The doctor took a ton of photos, but they are not on my portal page, i will see if she will post them there, so i can share them on here.

Soreness and numbness was gone this weekend (about 10 days after procedure). I notice my jawline looks firmer, but it could be all in my head. I am waiting on the dr. photos to compare with before photos.
