I am an asian female 50's with high cheek bones and strong jaw lines with hollow lower cheeks. After a couple of hours of the ultherapy treatment yesterday(first time), my buccal cheeks were becoming fat. Today my lower face looks so fat and squareish jaw line with little chins. and my buccal cheeks look just like chipmunks holding nuts on both sides of cheeks . Is this normal and a temporary look that could be expected or stay like this permanently?
