I had Ultherapy today (lower face only) and my smile is very asymmetrical now. The nurse attributed this to swelling but I'm not sure (no swelling is visible). I can't draw down the right corner of my lower lip. So awkward to speak, smile, or brush my teeth. There's also a depression in my chin when I smile.I had Ultherapy today and my smile is asymmetrical on my lower lips. Is this normal?

Answer: Ultherapy side effects are temporary Don't worry, there have been no long term side effects from Ultherapy. Having said that, it is a powerful treatment (that is why it works!) and is not meant to be used in some small areas on the face where a nerve may be close to the skin. If a nerve is inadvertently treated it may be traumatized for a matter of days. The nerve always recovers quickly and your results from your treatment will far outweigh the temporary situation. (I am assuming that no anesthesia injections were done in the area which could also traumatize a nerve temporarily)

Answer: Ultherapy Side Effects Temporary This could be related to swelling or nerve inflammation; both of which are temporary. If your treating doctor used a local anesthetic to numb the area, then, this is most likely an effect from the local which should resolve by day's end.
