I am 42 years old. I went through hifu procedure almost 2 weeks ago for the first time (first timer in face treatments to be exact) and some parts of my face and jaw get progressively nump. I have noticed that the practitioner (not doctor) who performed the hifu was entering 1.4mm. Isn't this long incision? I am worried that that was a poor treatment that gets worse as time goes by or its just me and my fears....

Answer: Worried After HIFU Dear monafiero, Thank you for your question. It is normal to have some temporary swelling of your skin after HIFU but the default if you are worried after a treatment is to see the practitioner that treated you. They need to be aware of any problems and concerns and can advise you. I would also ask to see the doctor who oversees the facility that you had your treatment in as well. If there is no doctor attached to this clinic, then you should see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who can assess and advise you. I hope this was helpful and that the rest of your recovery goes well. Best wishes

Answer: HIFU Lift A HIFU lift is high intensity focused ultrasound treatment. The machine heats tissues and theheat can tighten tissues. 1.4 mm is less than a tenth of an inch, or a very small distance.Swelling is most likely from your body healing and it will go away with time.Best wishes.
