3 weeks post ultherapy - sore jaw and gums, with bruising on gums. Nose looks smaller. Why?

Question

It's been 3 weeks after ultherapy. The swelling is going down but not completely. My main concern is the bruising on my gums! I thought it was only skin deep, so why are my gums affected?! Also, my nose looks like it shrunk. The tip looks and feels shorter. Is this normal? Could it have actually shrunk? Or is it swelling or something else. I'm having so many wierd side effects and I'm so worried! Can anyone explain all this? Should I be worried?

These are not typical symptoms following an Ultherapy treatment. I recommend following up with your Doctor for a formal evaluation. A combination approach would give the most improvement with Ultherapy. I recommend Ultherapy with RF treatments, lasers, microneedling/PRP or sculptra to get increased collagen, tightening and improve skin tone. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I have never heard of these effects occurring after Ultherapy. The nose is never treated and treatment around the mouth does not go deep enough to affect the gums. I would recommend you follow up with your treatment provider. Best wishes.
