I lost 12 lbs 2 months after my ultherapy treatment. will this ruin the result permanently?

Sagging faces are caused by different reasons, includling: volume loss, sun damage, and aged inelasticity and collagen loss. Similar to facelifts, Ultherapy A only pulls up sagging skin and does not replace the volume loss. Fat loss from age or diet or illness, can lead to sunken areas that no longer support the overlying skin.  In addition to Ultherapy and facelifts, volume loss is often corrected with fillers, whether Voluma, Juvederm Ultraplus, Radiesse, Restylane, Sculptra and fat injections.

Rapid weight loss can result in loose skin. The effects of Ultherapy can continue to work for up to 6 months after your treatment, so you may experience an improvement in the sagging skin compared to what it looks like today. However, odds are that you may require an additional Ultherapy treatment. Make sure you follow up with your treatment provider to compare before and after photos and determine whether another treatment will be required. Be well.

Weight loss affects all the cosmetic procedures including fillers and skin tightening devices.  Congradulations on the weight loss, but you may require additional cosmetic treatments at this point to look how you want.  Best, Dr. Emer.
