I recently got Ultherapy done on Tuesday, September 10th. I am 34 years old and only received it on my cheeks, jaw line and upper lip. It is the 3rd day after and I still notice major swelling on my cheeks and jaw line. When I smile I look like a chipmunk. I assume this will go down? Is there a timeframe of when the swelling is likely to start subsiding? Thank you, DBZ

Thank you for your question and this is a common one. The ultrasonic treatment goes below the skin. Therefore, if treatment is perform over a major nerve root like the supra-orbital nerves, then there may be some inflammation of the nerves. This will cause a burning sensation. The good new...
It is absolutely possible to focus Ulthera treatments to only one area instead of doing the whole face and neck area. You will see more dramatic and impressive results if you do the entire face and neck area however.
