How long will my mouth droop after the ultherapy treatment?

T
Txangel0423Jan 31, 2015

I had the ultherapy done and the right side of my mouth now droops when I talk and smile. I had a facelift 20 years ago so could my nerves have moved? If the ultherapy hit the nerve could this be permanent? If temporary how long will this last? I look like I've had a stroke or have Bell's palsy.

In the right hands Ultherapy does not produce scarring, but it is not a treatment to improve scarring either...

We are one of the very few clinics in California that offers both Ultherapy and Thermage and we routinely provided ibuprofen and/or intramuscular Ketorolac for pain relief and have not seen it to impact efficacy as far as lifting or skin tightening benefit of these noninvasive technologies.

Ultherapy is usually done on the face and the ultrasound energy directed at that area to tighten the skin does not radiate to the scalp. There should be no direct cause for hair loss.  There has not been beard loss with facial Ultherapy on men.  Some people develop hair loss months...
