When I was 56, I went to a plastic surgeon/dermatologist in Los Angeles to see if I could get Ultherapy. He told me that I should not get it as it would get rid of some of the nice fat in my face. So I never did anything to my face. Now I learn about Sofwave. Would Sofwave get rid of the nice fat in my face such as the cheeks like Ultherapy would have done? I really need to tighten my face at 61 yrs. Thanks!
