Ulthera Created More Lines and Hollowing of Eye Area?

February 15, 2013
Asked By:LidiaC in New York, NY

I had an Ultherapy treatment done only to my orbital area a month and a half ago. I know results take between 3-6 months, HOWEVER I am actually noticing more hollowing, darkening and lines at this point!! YIKES! What is this? Is the first stage of Ulthera supposed to look worse? Is the collagen being damaged in that area!? I am terrified by what is happening. It is noticeable in before & after pics at this point and friends can see the negative progression as well! :( Advice , input please
